Hi there blog friends, did I tell you how stinkin’ excited I am to be going to Akron, Ohio? Yup . . . this chick is getting out of the house – they’re just gonna have to do without me around here! I haven’t been to a stamp show in I can’t tell you how long and I for one am ecstatic that this is going to change!! I’ll never forget my first ventures to far away cities, to show floors filled with things I just love – the inspiration and thrill of being in a convention center surrounded by people who love crafts is an exhilirating feeling that lasts for a long time and is such a confirmation of why I love this craft. If you haven’t been to one of these shows, you don’t know what you’re missing. In the past I wasn’t able to go often, but when I did, it was a 6 hour drive east, north or west . . . worth every minute in the car, I might add. So . . . Adventures in Stamping . . . here I come, oh and I’m bringing a little friend of mine – Becca’s Peg Bow Maker. If you’ve not seen one and want to know what it does – have a look HERE. Hey and if you’re at the show and you buy one of these, your name will go in the pot for a raffle for a $25.00 gift certificate for two winners each day. As long as your name, address and phone number are on the back of your ticket, you don’t have to be present at winning time.
What, When, How, Where and Why
So will you come? I never get out, so I’m hoping to meet so many of you – it would be an absolute thrill for me. Adventures in Stamping is in Akron, Ohio over the dates of April 28 – Aprill 29, 2012 at the John S. Knight Center and you can get more information at their website http://www.adventuresinstamping.info I’m especially interested in hearing your feedback, so I hope you’ll stop by the Our Daily Bread Designs booth so that I can meet you!!

Thanks for the chance to win, Becca – and of course, have a safe, wonderful trip. My favorite of your tutorials?????? That is a tough one, there are so many great ones. The one most recently that “caused” me to go buy more EK Success punches, is the one you did about using the deep edger punches to make a framed border – love it, love it, love it. Especially appreciate that you provide dimension info and info about the punches I never knew – like the marks that are on the punches to indicate punch area. Thanks again!
Good for you taking your show on the road! Wow, can I really pick just one tutorial? No, but for the sake of entering your contest I will.lol The honeycomb ornament tutorial is pretty cool. Now you go off to Akron, have a great time & tell us all about it when you get back. You go girl!
Have fun Becca sounds like an exciting trip! It would be very tough to choose one of your tutorials because I love all of them. Your tutorial are so helpful & I have learned a lot from them. Have a wonderful trip!
I wish I could be in Akron this week. I’d love to meet you and attend a stamp fun. I love the mitered frame using a birder punch. Becca’s Bits are my absolute favorite! Have fun and enjoy every minute!
Hi, Becca: Been to this stamp show several times over the years – always great – you’ll love it! Live in Wadsworth, just outside of Akron, and am hoping to get there on Sunday. So much creativity and so many tremendous artists in one place is awesome! I’ve stored a good number of your tutorials and have referred to them often. Love them all because they are so professionally done and very easy to understand. Thanks so much and hope to meet you in Akron!
I can’t wait to meet you in Akron! Your work is just beautiful!
I love your bow tutorials! and would love to win that bow maker!
We are also vendors in Akron booth #109 A Jillian Vance Design!
See you there!
Blessings,
Bunny Vance
Enjoy for me, Becca! Travel on and have a super wonderful time at the convention!!! I have never been to one but one of these days the Lord will allow me out of the house to do so, I hope!!! I would SO love one of your bow makers! My favorite tutorial of yours if “Becca Bows” cuz’ I am just in love with stamps, ribbons, bows, lace … vintage girl that I am . Thank you for sharing!!! ~Amy S.~
P.S. I have been a subscribed e-mail reader for quite a few years now and I enjoy you showing up in my inbox each day!
Becca, you are so talented. I love your cards, projects, and videos. The delight of my day is to arise and find a new Feedbitz from you in my email box. I have been with you on your journey through sadness, gladness, and special moments. Thank you for sharing your heart and creations. My favorite tutorial is the ribbon weaving. I have made many cards in which friends say are keepsakes. Some have been sold for charity and I thank you! Have a wonderful trip! Love, Shirley
I loved your square envelop with the punched edges tutorial! I am so bow challenged and need help! So, I am so thankful for your giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh Becca can’t wait to see your great invention in person at the Akron show! So glad you will be in attendance!
Have a great trip. Would love one of the bowmakers as I make terrible bows. As for the tutorial, right now I’m thinking of the one the other day that used a spellbinder frame and a sympathy for a lost pet. Need to order that stamp.
Wish I could go with you. Akron, Ohio is where I was born; and I haven’t been back there since 1988. Have a wonderful time.
Sally Gasparri
I will be there for sure, I go every year and can’t wait to meet you in person. I have a homemade peg bowmaker but definitely plan to buy one if I dont’ win it! My fav tutorial is of course how to make the different bows on it.
I love them all! Have a great trip! It has been a while since I have been to a stamp show! But 1 is coming up in May and I be be there!
hope you’ll have a wonderful time in akron. i loved the tute on the basket with the martha stewart punch. if i have time i will read the pintrest thing. just not sure i want any more social media stuff to keep up with. barely keeping my head on with e-mails. love your posts.
So good to hear you are getting out into the crafting world! Wished I lived closer as I would love to meet you! My fav tutorial is the figure eight bow! Luv the peg bow maker. My bows look awesome now!!! :D
I’m an email subscriber and I would love to win your Bow Maker! Even though I am in Canada; Akron is within driving distance for me. Last weekend I went to Scrap Fest here in Ontario (Kitchener) and shopped til I dropped! My favourite tutorial is Spellbinder Filigree Flower Medallion Tutorial. I want to get the Spellbinder die that you used and recreate the flower. It is gorgeous! When I was at Scrap Fest I bought the Floral Burst Shapeability and I love it!
So hard to just pick one Tutorial that I love, Becca! You’ve been SO generous in sharing how you make such lovely creations. But I will admit I have a weakness for your amazing bow making skills!
wow! So many tutorials to choose from! I can’t remember the names but there was a wonderful box tutorial, and all your bow tutorials and on and on! I really love them all….from the simple ones to the incredibly detailed. You do a wonderful job explaining all your tricks!
Thank you for the chance to win. And you don’t clog up my inbox! To the contrary, I really look forward to being amazed by your detailed creations!
have a wonderful trip! Bring an empty suitcase to bring back your treasures…
Sue Brailey
Becca if only I lived in Akron… i’d LOVE to meet you… I hope you have a fabulous time!!
I know you have oh so many tutorials I simply LOVE….. one that quickly came to mind was the honeycomb ornament… but there are so many…. will have to check back to see the correct titles..
Keep up the great work!!!
Becca, my favorite tutorial was the punched square border. It made it easy to make a nice background for a focal. Thanks for your tutorials and your neat card ideas. Keep up the good work I am watching for each post.
So excited for you, getting to go to Akron for the show~!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win your amazing Peg Bow Maker…I love your new tutorial for Boarder filled Frames!!!! This is so cool! and I often look back at your bowmaking tutorials!!!! Can’t wait to see who wins!
Wow how fun for you wish I could go too. I love your bow maker have to have one. One of My favorite tutorial is the one were you show how to make your cards extended in sixes but I love all of your Tutorials along with the new ways you are using the spellbinders dies like the new one with the Romantic Rectangles supper cool. I tried that with the Doilies and it was amazing.
I have been a follower and a Subscriber of yours for a long time.
thanks for the chance to win.
abbraddock@msn.com
I watch your videos on making bows. I can’t get them as pretty as you do. Have a great time in Akron.
How exciting for you to be on the road again. I love going to the shows also, but Ohio is just to far for me. I do the Michigan ones and hope you’ll be to at least one of them. Would love to meet you. You have so many wonderful tutorials, but I guess my favorite is the flowers. But I love the bow maker one also. Hope you see a bushel of them. Have lots of fun. Edna B.
I already bought your Peg Bow Maker so don’t put my name in the hat. I wish I could meet you but I am too far away. If you ever come my way I will be first in line to meet you ! Best of luck and fun at your appearance at the Stamp Show.
Wow, I would love to win your Peg Bow Maker. I have been a subscriber for over a year and really enjoy your beautiful creations and your tutorials, especially the ones for tying bows and the Spellbinders tutorials.
Lucky you!! Akron should be a beautiful trip!!! I wish I could go :-(
I was super intrigued by your recent border filled frame (but I do love your flowers and bows). Best of luck!
Hugs,
Antonella :-)
Although i love everyone of your tutorials, my favorite to date is the honeycomb ornament tutorial. I’ve used several different dies with this and am constantly amazing at the results! Thankyou for the inspiration!
Have a safe and wonderful trip to Ohio. It’s too far for me but if there’s any chance you’ll come to New England this year in June, I’ll be there!
Hi Becca, it is very difficult to just pick one of your tutorials but I have to say the ribbon storage one was a lifesaver for me, my ribbons were in plastic bags and what a difference your storage solution made to my sanity!!!
Thank you
Rene from OZ xo
I am very happy for you. Have a good trip!
The best tutorial those one with punches. All around the page , the one with the corner you can do so much with all those punches.
You have so many good tutorials tomorrow I will find another one for sure.
Have fun!
Francine
Becca, I would love to have one of your bow makers. I absolutely love, love, love your work………..especially your beautiful bows.
Have a wonderful time in Akron!
Esther
Hi Becca,
This is so sweet of you to be giving one of your bow makers away! Thank you! I am so excited for you to be going to Ohio. I only wish I could go but unfortunately I cannot. Hopefully one day!
My favorite tutorial that you have done is the Decorative Border Folded Envelope Tutorial.
Jo
Becca,
I would love to win one of your soon to be famous bow makers. My husband made one for me from your tutorial, but it is not nearly as nice as the ones you are offering now. I hope you have a wonderful time in Akron. Please let me know if you are ever in Michigan!
Blessing,
Julie
I am so glad you get to go to Ohio Becca! I wish I could come and see you there – it would be about a 6-hour plane trip for me I am afraid :) What a sweetie you are to offer one of your Peg Bow Makers as a giveaway to your readers! I am a longtime follower of your blog and I am subscribed to you in every form I think :) Sounds like a stalker! I love all of your tutorials and one of these days, when my craft room is functional, I am going to sit down and try them all one by one! I have a lot of favorites, but one I want to try first is The mitered corner frame with a punch – I think that is what it is called. It is made with the Deep trellis punch, which I have yet to get but it is the next thing on my wish list to buy so then I will be all set! Have a lovely time and be safe! Big hugs to you sweet friend!
Becca,
Wishing you a safe trip and lots of fun!! Of course, Becca’s Bows are my favorite tutorials. I have been a subscriber for quite some time and remember the “origonal” peg bow maker! Congratualtions on your success!!
Barb
Now THAT IS a prize worth winning! Not only is it useful, but it was designed by an incredibly creative and generous woman. One question: will it be autographed? (;-D
Yes!! A bow maker would be fabulous in my crafting world. And especially Becca’s. I have watched several of the bow tutes and have been so pleased at the ease of replication! I appreciate a teacher that can pass on their gifts to others in that way. Thanks!!
Hi Becca, I’ve been following you by email for some time, I just have to keep up with your beautiful creations and now I’m following you on Pinterest!
As for tutorials, so many and so little time!!! Well, bow tying is my fav right now. As a matter of fact, I was called the queen of bows by a friend and had to tell her that no, that title went to you!!! Now I put bows on everything! (gotta stop that) LOL
I love your blog and creations, they lift me up!
Starr
WooHoo! Have a wonderful trip! So sorry I can’t come to Ohio but I have been to many conventions and I do love seeing all the new items and new creations and ideas that the vendors showcase for us. So much fun! My favorite Becca tutorial is the one on “double-bows”. Haven’t mastered it yet but I am trying. Thanks so much for all your great ideas and gorgeous creations and your give-aways. Maybe winning the peg bow maker would make me a pro!
I can feel the excitement of the convention shows in my tummy! I can’t wait for Orlando and hope you have a fabulous time!! Great giveaway but you already give us so much each day by showcasing your amazing creativity….THANK YOU
Creative Wishes,
Claire S.
Have fun Becca, I know you will. Good luck everyone. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Going to a show sounds like great fun. They never have them where I live and Ohio is too far to drive (and too expensive to fly) so I give you permission to have fun for me. I love when you put a new tutorial up but I think my favourite was the one on the figure eight bows because I love how the loops stay separated. Have a wonderful time and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do – LOL.
Hugs!
Cec
Awwww. I have wanted to meet you forever. You are my all time favorite crafter but I can’t make it to Akron this year even though I am only 2 hours away. I love all of your tutorials and have cased so many of your cards. When I send them out I get the best comments on how lovely they are. I really hope to meet you one day. The peg bow maker looks really cool and I would love to win it. My Anniversary happens to be that weekend so I have to stay home with hubby….hum wonder if I can convince him to bring me up for the day…tee hee.
I really have enjoyed all of your tutorials, but my favorite two are coloring the ribbon and how to do mitered corners with border punches.
Have fun at the show!
Thanks for all your creativity.
I’m excited for you to go on an adventure to Akron!I love your blog. YOu always put a smile on my face! One of my favorite tutorials is on bow making. I think about it everytime I make one… thanks!
Enjoy your crafting get away!
HOW VERY EXCITING Becca!!!!!!!!! You’re a traveling woman now! I’ve NEVER been to one of these craft shows! Would LOVE to come!!!!!!!! If I lived in Ohio, I’d be there!!!!!!!!!!! BELIEVE ME!!!!!!! Anyway, I KNOW you’ll have a BLAST!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!!!!!!!!! :)
Well, my ALL TIME FAVORITE of your tutorials is: The Birdcage Popup Card & Giftbox!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really is the most intricate & beautiful & fascinating of all!!!!!!!!! It’s QUITE UNBELIEVABLE that you came up with this little creation!!!!!!!!!! To know where to cut…etc! You are SOME TALENTED LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I receive your e-mails all the time and I always enjoy seeing your beautiful works of art….I tell my friend you are the Queen of Spellbinders ..OMG.

Linda
You will have a blast!!! Have a great trip and a great show!!
Hope you have a great trip. My favorite tutorial is the ruffled flower. I hope you have a wonderful time. I enjoy receiving a note from you most mornings in my email filled with a beautiful piece of inspiration.
I love following your blog. I love your bows! And now I am following you on Pinterest also.
Hi Becca, usually I’m a lurker!
I love all your tutorials, and can’t pick a favorite!
Read all your posts and drool over all your creations!
Have fun in Akron!
My favorite video is showing how you make your beautiful bows
I forgot to add that in I am sorry
Sorry that you won’t be in my neck of the woods, but thanks for a chance to win.
Becca glad you are getting out and you get to demo your bow maker at a stamp show how fun. I have done stamp show demos they are fun but make for a long day. I would love to go to Ohio to meet you, just to far since I am on the west coast. You need to get them to come to a California Show. I have your Bow Maker and it is great I reccomend it to anyone. So do not enter me into your drawing, I just wanted to let you know I am glad you are getting out.
Take care
Andrea
Enjoy Akron! I attended StampFest in Clearwater for the first time this year. Can’t wait to go again next year!
Picking a favorite tutorial is not easy. I really liked the Butterfly card/video.
Thanks.
Oh, I wish I had known sooner to plan. I am a relatively new follower. I LOVE your creative talent and all your tutorials are so well presented. I must say I am especially taken with the decorative border envelopes right now. I always look forward to your posts. My gosh, you are amazing! Have fun….I hope to meet you another time.
I wish I were close enough to Ohio to join you. I enjoy all of your tutorials. The first one I came across was the rectangle frame with a corner punch that you did several years ago. I’ve been following your blog ever since. The shoe that you did a few years ago was my second favorite. Have a safe trip.
Oh Becca I think you should come to Springfield Mass, June 2 & 3 with ODB. I would love to meet you!!!!
thanks for the chance to win – too many great tutorials to pick one – but the birdcage was awesome even tho I will never be able to make it!
Thanks Becca for sharing all your wonderful tutorials with us. I love them all but I especially love the perfect punched border frames and of course the bow tutorial.
Your emails do not clog up my mail, it’s all the other ones I get that do that. Amazing Paper Grace is the bright spot on the horizon and I love getting it. I hope you have a ball at the show and come home full of enthusiastic ideas. Thanks for being such a great inspiration to me and my two paper buddies.
Bec
I would love to meet you but I am afraid Ohio is just too far. I cannot pick a favourite tutorial I follow and drool over all your creations. I must say though I love your bow maker; it makes the most fantastic bows that finish any card. Enjoy your trip and I look forward to hearing all about it.
I so understand about getting out to a show. I never miss one in my area if I can help it. Hope you have a great time. Would love a bow maker. Sure hope I win.
All the tuturials are wonderful, but I really like the making the bows. Gla to see you are getting out of the house. Everyone needs that. Have a great time and thanks for the chance to win..
I had better ad that my favorite tutorial of yours was the frame pin cushion.
I love all your tutorials and enjoy your blog very much. You are one of my favorite bloggers. Your work is so elegant and just plain pretty! Thank you for sharing your work.
Blessings,
Stephanie
I would love to have a little piece of goodness that helps you create Becca Bows!
Oh my goodness! To pick just one of your tutorials…I have had so much fun creating with your wonderful tutorials. But, if I had to pick just one, I think it would be the twist top box. I’ve given so many gifts using that one.
I wish so much that I could go to Akron, I’ve never been to a stamping show. There aren’t any in Maine. Also, I’ve tried subscribing a bunch of times, but it always tells me image verification failed. All I see are a bunch of ads. I’ve tried typing what is in the ad, what is below the ad, anything I can think of. Most of them are Toyota Ads. But I do have your blog in my side bar so I won’t miss seeing any of your gorgeous cards!
Since I can’t watch You Tube because our internet is too slow, (I live on a tiny island), I am choosing the long Spellbinders storage tutorial. I can’t remember which other ones weren’t video, I’ve tried to see all of them over the last year or so. but I know that is one I really found useful. I’m looking forward to the day when we finally get real DSL here!
Hope you have a great time in Akron. I love stamp convs. and have 2 within an hour each year.
My favorite tutorials are the ones you show how to make your fancy bows and the bow tips on Becca’s Bits. Your tuts are very easy to follow. Thanks for them.
I would love to meet you some day at a convention. Someday……. My favorite tutorial was the rosettes with a border punch. Fabulous! And I would love to start adding bows to my cards cuz these here fingers are to clunky for that. :-)
Have a wonderful time, Becca! I need one of those bow makers because even after watching your great video tutorials, I’m still bow-challenged!
Have a Great time in Ohio Becca!
My favorite tutorial has been my 1st one that lead me to you and I think it was called “Thrifty Girls Card Set” It is the one you use calendar pictures to make cards and envelopes. I have been a follower/subscriber ever since. I also really liked the Right Angle punching tutorial as well. Actually I love them all!
Blessings,
Valerie Martin
Hi Becca
How nice that you are giving away a peg bow maker. I actually already purchased one and I absolutely love it. My Mum has recently started crafting so I would give it to her if I won another. Funny enough I also signed up for Pinterest yesterday. I actually searched for your name (before reading this blog) but did not see it so I will look again. Hugs.
Becca-so excited for you’! I was asking about you a couple of years ago at the Daily Bread booth when they first came to Stampaway in Cincinnati! !! I have fingers crossed you will make it our way toward the end of summer! Have loads of fun!!!
Hi Becca. Sure wish I were close to Ohio but I will have to settle for your blow by blow account of it. My favorite tutorial is always the last one you did. hehe.
Be safe and have fun! Off to Pinterest :)
Becca: Surely do wish that I could join you. I’d love, love, love to attend a stamp show (I’ve never been to one) with you! As far as my fav of your tutorials, I have to choose the flower ones – the tissue and the lacey, since I’m just learning to make embelishments for my cards and gifts. Thank you.
My fav is the woven lattice tutorial. You did a great job explaining how to accomplish this beauty! Thanks.
Hope you have a wonderful time. I know you will be swamped with admirers wanting to meet you and see the bow maker live. I am lucky enough to have one and love it.Love all you tutorials and the details on how you assemble your cards. My favorites are the bow tutorials. Will you get a chance to attend StampFest in Orlando this year? I know it is a very long driver but it sure would be fun to see you there.
Becca, thanks so much for giving us a chance for your bow maker. I’ve been eying it and hope that I can win it. I wish that you came with it tho to help me make the bows. Please draw my name…
Have a wonderful trip. Thanks for the chance to win!
Besides the bow tutorials (I put ribbon and bows on almost every card I make)
I love your angel wings stick pins. Absolutely heavenly!
Smiles and hugs,
Carol
I am obsessed with all your bow tutorials! I was going to make my own peg bow maker but I just haven’t found the time. Thanks for the chance to win. Teresa E
Have fun!!!
Becca: I just subscribed to your blog recently, and I LOVE IT.
Hi Becca, Glad you are getting to go to the show. My favorite tutorial would have to be the bows, Thanks for the chance.
Oh Wow! Becca there are times when it would be good to be visiting the states,so sorry to miss you as you visit the show.
My husband made me a Bow Maker … ahhm I would love an “original” (he won’t see this blog so I am on safe territory) although I AM MOST GRATEFUL to him for making it for me. Thanks again.
My favorite tutorial is for the text top box!!! I watched it over and over again. I made the box by pausing after each step to make my own score lines. It turned out perfect! I really love that box and all of your tutorials. Your instructions are always clear.
Thanks for the chance to win one of your peg bow makers–I really want one.
I hope you get a chance to attend a show in SoCal some time. Enjoy Akron, I know you will love it!!!
Great giveaway! I hope you have a great time in Akron!
I loved the tutorial you had recently on the border punch frame.
DeniseB
Hope you have a wonderful time at the show! Can’t wait to hear all about it. For me my favorite video has always been your bows! They are beautiful.
Karen
Oops, my comment was added before I finished. What I wanted to say was that I just subscribed to your comment recently, and I LOVE it. My favorite tutorial is Becca’s Bows. I like the Double Tied Bow. I am a terrible bow maker. I sure could use Becca’s Bow Maker. LOL You lucky girl, going to the Akron Stamp Show. I LOVE going to the stamp shows. They are so much fun. I am a Stamp Show groupie. :>) Have a fun time at the show.
I have already purchased your Peg Bow Maker and I love all of your tutorials but the border punch around the card is neat. I learn so much from you.
I live in Ohio but don’t know if I will be able to attend the show in Akron, hope I am able to make it. God bless.
Have a great time at the conference! You deserve it! My favorite tutorials (besides bow making lessons) are the ones on right angle punching.
Love the frame pin cushion tutorial. In fact just this weekend my sister and I had a girl’s weekend and this was one of our projects — we made 4 of them! We had so much fun.
How can I pick just one tutorial? I especially enjoyed your tutorial on making the twist-top boxes, and was inspired to make quite a few. Enjoy your trip and I’ll eagerly await more blog posts upon your return. Thanks for all you do!
Hi Becca
Love your blog and your work. Here in the Land of the Long White Cloud, we dont have access to a lot of what we see in US and UK, so we drool and generally just have a big wish list. Recently we have just had a “Becca Challenge” which was fun – to make a card like Becca’s! So you are famous when people have Becca challenges.
Becca I hope you have a super trip and thoroughly enjoy your travels and get pumped by some fabulous rubber finds. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hope you have a fabulous time at the show; I know you’ll be a blessing to all who stop by to “see you in action”. My favorite tutorial is the “Perfect Mitered Frame using Border Punch”; I have used this frame on quite a few of my cards. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wonderful for you!! I have good friends that will be there with their stamp company “Endless Creations and Everyday Cards” from Wisconsin. Some year I hope to make it to one of these fabulous shows!! Have a ton of fun!!
Love your Becca Bits tutorials. Would love to win your bow maker.
craftymom205 at yahoo dot com
CHoosing one of your tutorials in nearly impossible, you are such an inspiration. Icome to your blog daily just to see all you have posted and to keep me motivatied. I never get tired of watching your tutorials right now I like the bows as I’m really trying to add more elaborate bows to my projects. Thanks for all the inspiration and have a great time at the convention., and thnaks for a chance to win.
So hope you have a wonderful time in Akron! And, hope you sell LOTS of your bow makers, too! I absolutely LOVE all of your tutorials – but, I loved learning how to make your tag box with the scriptures inserted into the name badge holders. I’ve made several for friends going throught a difficult time, and they’ve loved them. THANK YOU for sharing your talent with us – and, THANK YOU for offering a chance to win your bow maker!
I really enjoy seeing a message from you in my mail box. I know that when I go to your site I will see a lovely card or project. I do like the tutorials where you show us how to use the punches in a way I would never think of. Thanks for a chance to win one of your bow makers.
Seriously – you want me to pick my favorite tutorial. Oh my goodness, where do I begin. I’ll have to go back through them all – that I’ve marked and pick my favorites..can I just say ALL.
I have been following your blog now for quite some time and get regular emails as well. I am always in ah of your work. I enjoyed your tutorials on the bows that you create and when I went to view one a while back they had been removed. I was disappointed and have struggled to create the bows myself because you make it look so easy. My fingers are crossed even if I could just get my hands on the DVD I would be happy.
Nancy
I love your bow tutorials. Your bow tied look so perfect and so beautiful with many layers. All your card inspired me escpecially using Spellbinders die. You make me want to buy all Spellbinders that you’re used in you cards.
Oh I wish I could go to that show – but I’m too far away! Have a great time!! And my fav tutorial is your right angle punching tutorial – it is so pretty – love it!!
O Becca! you have so much good info in all your tutorials! I think that the one that I liked best was a recent one where you make the beautiful lattice background with a Martha Stewart punch – it reminds me of the u-tube one that shows how to make a lace circle or border using corner punches. (I was pretty sure that was you that did that one, eh!) I just love getting new inspiration of how to make my own unique embellishments with tools that I have. You always seem to come up with the most ‘divine’! ideas with tools like that to really personalize our work with. You not only show us what can be done, but how we can apply it to our own creations! a true teacher! Blessings!
My FAVORITE tutorial. Golly, golly,golly! How to choose? The one I refer to the most has to be Becca’s Bows. The one I made the most items from is the Xmas Tree Boxes using Spellbinder’s Nested Pennants. The one I still have not mastered is the woven latice basket (but will try again sometime), All of your tutorials, regardless of subject, have taught me SOMETHING, and that is why I keep looking for more. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and ideas. Enjoy your trip to Ohio. Have a ball, and please fill us in on the happenings when you return.
Hi Becca, well I don’t know the names of your craft and stamping shows in the US, though I do know about CHA. However, it sounds like you are heading for fun so I pray you have a safe journey and enjoy a wonderful time. As for the favourite tutorial, well for me I am stuck between the right angled corner punching and the tag calender …oh hard decision…..ok I’ll go with the right angled corner punching..It was really inspirational and All my punches are now looked at in a completely new light (but please note tag calender just 1/1000th sec behind.. lol!). Take care Hugs Linda x
Becca, your so funny. Have fun. Thanks for a great giveaway!
You were dinner time conversation tonight when I was out with my bestie and longest-time friend, Star. (Hi, Star!! I know you read Becca’s blog religiously — Becca, Star told me that she has you on a ready-click on her I-Pad!!) Funny thing too, we talked about your Becca Peg Bow Maker and I said (boasted!!) how I have one. What Star doesn’t know is that I was one of the lucky first 100 purchasers, so I got my very own Becca Original card that came with it. TOUCHED by BECCA!!! :) Seriously, you’re inspirational. At any rate, if I win another, I know who’s getting it …. but shhhh, don’t tell her!! Becca, my favorite tutorial … hmmm, maybe your other bow maker. I don’t know if it’s an official tutorial, but the one you have in the little round box with the peg holes surrounding it?? I made one of those after you showed how to make it, and whenever I use it, I refer to it as my “Becca Box Bow.”
Have a wonderful time in Akron. (I never really thought I’d be saying those words together in a sentence. I’ve been to Akron ……) One time my late ex-mother-in-law (got that?) took a bus trip with the end point of Akron, the key destination. I never did understand that. She said she was going to go see the Soap Box Derby Race Course. Mind you, it wasn’t running at the time … she was just going to go see the course. And yup, she came back and showed off the pictures of asphalt and chain link fence. With so many delightful and picturesque places to see, I never will understand the fascination with asphalt and chain link fence, but to each her own, ehhhh?
Now a craft show as a destination???? Another story altogether.
I am a long time e-mail subscriber, and BecAddict.
Fondly,
Ellen ? CardMonkey
Hope you have a great time at your craft show!! My favorite tutorial was the one on how to use the MS punch all over the page to make the beautiful card. I don’t have a lot of Nesties, etc but that was one punch that I did have. Great technique! Thanks so much for all your inspiration.
Becca, my dear,
YOU CAN “CLOG” MY INBOX AS MANY TIMES A DAY AS YOU WANT. I KNOW EACH ONE WILL BE BETTER THAN THE LAST. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU NOW FOR 2 – 3 MONTHS AND EVER SO HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING YOU POST. MY FAVORITE TUTORIAL IS THE ONE ON MAKING THE DOUBLE BOWS. I COULD REALLY USE ONE OF YOUR BOW MAKERS SINCE I HAVE BEEN SPENDING ALL MY MONEY ON SPELLBINDER DIES. YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU SELL A TON OF THEM AT THIS SHOW IN OHIO. MY SIS AND NEICE LIVE IN OHIO SO IF I WAS VISITING THEM I WOULD BE ON MY WAY TO SEE YOU AND BUY THE BOWMAKER. HAVE A GREAT TIME AND I AM SURE YOU WILL MEET A BUNCH OF HAPPY LADIES WHEN THEY FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO MEET “OUR HERO” BECCA. GOD BLESS

Good for you, Becca! Hope you have a really good time. Also hope you packed some warm clothes, since I think it’s going to be a mite chilly up there, but may have warmed up by the time you get there. Oh dear heaven you really want me to pick a favorite out of your tutorials??? Well lets see, there are all the bow ones, then there are the ones on new and nifty ways to use your punches…I mean really, Becca, that’s like asking you to pick a favorite child! LOL. Ok I’ll have to give this some serious though…I’ll be back tomorrow. Meantime thanks for the chance!

Have a safe trip and a great time! My favorite tutorial? The bows one of course!
A chance to win a bow maker? Ya-hoooo. I’m in. Have fun at your stamp show. Love, love LOVE going to those! I always take a billion pictures and spend waaaay more money than I should. My favorite tutorial hmmm, I guess I can narrow it down to either the MS punch around the page or the double bow one. I STILL go back and refer to them periodically for a reminder. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love your honeycomb ornament, I love everything you do! You are an inspiration.
Wow, I am so happy for you,wish I could go to Akron,would love to meet you. Have a blast!
My favorite tutorial was the one you did on how to make perfect punch around the page cuts. Have lots of fun on your trip.
How exciting for you! Hope you have a fabulous time. One of the tutorials I like is the honeycomb ornament. Love the beautiful one you made. Thanks for this chance for your bow maker!
Sounds really fun Becca! Would love to go if I lived closer! : ) Have a great time!
My favorite tutorials include your bow-making ones. Thank you for the chance win!
HI, I think it would be the ones where you do such fantastic things with the border punches. I am a subscribed reader, too. I love your cards!
Becca, I have learned so many techniques from you, The bow is are one of my favorites since they add such a nice touch to the cards. I so wish I was close enough to come to Akron and meet you in person and say “Thank You” for all you share. Have a wonderful time and be safe.
Becca, I’m glad you are getting out and going to have such a fun time. I live in Canada and have never been to a craft show…not too many held here. Thanks so much for your generous chance to win your bow maker. I loved your tutorials on how to get more use from the Martha Stewart punches and the one on the Martha Stewart punch all over the page punches to create a fab. die cut card front. I just think all your tutorials are great…easy to follow and informative.
Joanne
Your bow making tutorials have definitely been favorites. You can clog up my email with your beautiful creativity anytime!
Hi Becca! Sure wish I could be there in Akron to meet you in person. I love all your tutorials, especially the bow making ones. I would dearly love to win Becca’s Peg Bow Maker. Thanks for all you share with us! Wishing you many blessings!!
I LIVE IN AKRON!!!!!!!! I am so excited that you are going to be there. I go every year but this year I am really excited to meet you even more so then I was to meet Tim Holtz. You will have to make a trip to Paper Hollo for the best deals on paper and envies they sell buy the pound. I can’t believe you are coming I hope you bring lots of cards I would love to see them up close and personal.

I just wanted to say that I was finally able to subscribe. I had never mentioned having a problem doing it until tonight. Well, I just tried again, and this time I got the phrase to type in instead of a bunch of ads. Finally I’m a member!
LOL Ok I was so excited about a chance to meet you I forgot to mention my favorite tutorial.. really pick one?? bows, spellbinders, ribbons, choice of papers, stamps??? Oh never mind I can’t pick one LOL I look up supplies (esp spellbinders) on everything you do!!! I must admit my shopping list for them is all because of you. And I do have a number of them already! Just keep making your cards and other things so I can being amazed!
Have a fab time in Akron. The bow tutorials have been fantastic and the demo so well done. I have learned so much since I found your site and I love each day when your email pops into my inbox. I get withdraw symptoms when I don’t hear from you for a few days.
Travel safe and have a great time. God Bless Bec.

have a great show and enter me to win!
My favorite tutorial is the perfect border punch background. It gave me another wonderful way to use my punches. I love how you always come up with the creative ways to use the tools we have.
Becca have a blast in Akron!! I love your bow maker. I ordered right off when you announced it and it makes life easy… God Bless you and enjoy a well needed getaway.
I just received your bow maker today and can’t wait to try it! I would love to win one for my BFF! Also please send me your pinerest!
Have a wonderful time! I have never been to one and hope one day to go. We live in the country kind of away from any of those events! I am waiting with baited breath to hear all about it! Enjoy!
Honestly, I love all of your tutorials as you’re very inspiring and encouraging to listen to, but if I had to pick one, it is your bow tutorial. I thought I was a decent bow maker until I saw your bow maker that you’ve designed. Another example of how creative you are! Thank you, Becca!!
Wow, Becca…choosing a favorite tutorial could be a difficult task! They are all so great. Bows immediately come to mind because yours are the best I’ve ever seen! But I also love your Becca Bits. I’ve learned so many wonderful techniques there. Wish I could go to Akron! Have a great time.
Bonnie G
Becca sounds like you will have a great time at the stamp show and I am so jealous! You have so many great tutorials that it is hard to choose just one. I did enjoy the angel stick pins you showed us how to make. I ran out and bought all the necessary supplies and made quite a few up in advance. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful cards and those wonderful Becca Bits! Have fun!!
Hi Becca, wow you really know how to put us on the spot!! I have followed you it seems like forever and I really have loved them ALL!! But I think it has got to be the Bow Maker cuz I’m still not too good at that!! I’m trying though!!!
I sure wish I could meet you but I will someday I’m sure!!
Have a wonderful,safe trip and try not to get in any trouble!! Tee HEE!!
Thanks for the chance to win your fantastic bow maker believe it or not I only orded one yesterday from Our Daily Bread never mind I could give it to my best friend.I love all your tutorials you are one awsome card maker.Love your posts check my emails for your name everyday don’t know how you keep doing it .God bless, Chris.
Hi Becca… I have been following you through e-mail for quite sometime … & I just love all your tutorials & its difficult to choose one as my favorite…. But still the border filled frame is one of my favorite tutorials… I just love the effect it creates… Have a wonderful trip….
Oh Becca — it’s so hard to pick a favourite Becca Bit. I like the tutorial on cutting tight mats — so simple, but often something we don’t think of doing!
I hope you have a wonderful time in Ohio. I’m sure that your fans will be so excited to meet you. Hope you gets loads of orders for Becca’s Peg Bow Maker. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
So glad we can now follow you on Pinterest. I pin your projects sooo often. This will definitely save me some time (lol)!
Safe travels!
Lucky girl, Becca, to be off to see many wonderful things…I think what I like best, though that’s hard to decide because I have appreciated everything you’ve shown us to do…but the fabulous bows you make are simply awesome…hope you have a great time in Ohio…wish I could be there to meet you in person…have fun and have a wonderful trip…hugs…
Denise Trottier
All of your tutorials are inspiring, but my absolute favorites are the two on honeycomb ornaments.
Hi Becca….. Sooo excited for you to get to go to the convention in Akron, OH. Awesome girl! I got to attend CHA in LA one year and OMG that was beyond awesome!
My all time favorite tutorial is your RIBBON STORAGE. I can’t tell you how many boxes of ribbons I now have reorganized and the small space that holds it is amazing. Your tutorial was the best one yet I’ve read and I immediately transformed mine to be like yours. THANK YOU!
I am a follower for a long time on your blog. Will have to follow you as well on Pinterest. I’m ADDICTED to that! LOL
Have a safe and wonderful trip!
Peggy
Wow Becca,
I am so glad that you are getting to go to the show you deserve to get away. I love seeing your cards and ideas and you are an inspiration to me.
I love the tutorials on bow making but then I love the ones on card making so it would be difficult to pick a favorite.
I hope that you gete a lot of orders for your Bow Maker and I would love to win one.
Have a wonderful time on your trip and I look forward to what you have to show us in the future.
Safe travels. . .I so wish I lived closer to attend the stamp show, I would love to meet you in person, what a joy that would be!!! I love your tutorial on using the wide punches for borders on squares and rectangles. I’ve tried it and it works great.
You can clog my email box to your hearts desire!!! I love all your postings!!!
Enjoy your trip and meeting all the wonderful people out there who are paper crafters!!!
Hmmmmm……..Akron’s not that far from me. It would be a pleasure and priviledge to meet you. I’ll have to give that some very serious consideration. I think my favorite would be one of the bow videos–probably the figure eight. Thanks for all your help and inspiration!
Hi Becca,
Enjoy your trip! I’m too far away in AZ to come, but hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you in person! It’s hard top choose a favorite tutorial because you have so many great ones, but I’m going to choose the ruffled flower medallion. I love new and exciting flowers to put on my cards, and your tutorial really made it easy to make the flower.
I am so excited for you Becca!!!!!! I know this will be fun and that your Bow Maker will be a huge hit. Hope you have plenty of time to shop the other booths as well. Maybe even take pics and share them with us. Best of luck and have a grand time.
And just incase there is anyone out there reading this that hasn’t picked up this bow maker yet, don’t hesitate, it is fabulous and you will be making gorgeous bows in no time.
Marcie
Have a wonderful time there Becca, I sure wish, I could join you too. We don´t have anything like that here at all. I wish you all the best of luck with your bow maker there, but am sure, it´ll be a huge succes.
About my favorit tutorial?? That´s a hard one, cause I love all your tuts and Becca bits, but one I really love is the one with the Garden Trellispunch you used for a cardfront. That one I really loved, but also soo many more.
Love all of your tutorials but one of my favorites is the Decorative Pearl Flower Center. I love that you do it with wire and not hot glue. And I never would have thought to pull apart the big silk flowers – awesome tip and money saver!!
I love all your tutorials and how you teach us to maximize usage of our punches. My favorite is the Border Filled Frame. Thanks for the chance. Enjoy and have a safe trip!
I am so glad that you are getting to go to the show, you deserve to get away and your fans will be delighted to meet you. Wish I could be one of them.
Your turorials are all fantastic hard to pick just one. I love those showing how to use punches in different ways, tight matts and ribbon storage as I’ve use them most.
Have a wonderful and safe trip.
Blessings Bernie
Enjoy your trip to Ohio and I wish you much success for your bow maker. You are an inspiration to so many people and all of your tutorials are so helpful and my favorite is the bow with the collar. Thank you for this opportunity to win your bow maker!
I wish your stamp show was in Sacramento instead of Akron…I’d be there for sure!! But I know you’ll have a blast, and your Peg Bow Maker will be a huge hit.
When you initially posted your instructions on how to make one, I begged my hubby to make it for my birthday. But it’s just not the same as yours and the DVD tutorial would be really helpful since it’s not on your blog anymore. I sure hope I’m lucky enough to win, thanks for the chance!!
My favorite tutorial is your Ruffled Flower. I love that you can use many different types of border punches for this! It’s so cute, too!!
I’ve been an email subscriber for a long time, so thanks for an extra surprise if I win :) I’m now following you on Pinterest, too, so thanks for posting your button!
~Rachel in Sacramento
Your tutorials are great! I liked the one where I learned to use the all-over-the-page punches because they are not easy to figure out. After watching your tutorial, I bought one of the punches. Thanks!
Hi Becca, feel so excited for you that I could almost be going myself lol. Wishing you so much good luck.
I look forward to all your projects, my favourites are the beautiful flowers you make. I can’t pick just one as all so pretty. I follow in amazement at your creations and look forward to my mails.
Have a great time Becca and thanks for the chance to win.
Lynne
Gosh, I like all your tutorials, I learn something from all of them. thank you so much for the chance to win. I would love your bow maker.
Have a great time in Ohio – the very first card I saw on your blog was a Valentine card you made for your husband. It was pink and creme colors and you did ribbon lacing. I loved that card so much that I made it for my husband! Thank you for sharing all your creations with us and thanks for the chance to win!
Bonnie
I love all of your tutorials, especially Becca Bits – always something new to learn! Have fun in Ohio, since I’m in Australia I wont be able to join you there!
I really need this bow maker. My bows are not OK now. This is a really great gift.
Becca, how very generous of you, thank you for giving the opportunity of winning one of your lovely bow makers. I love your bow tutorials especially the one for making bows with more than one set of loops. I have made them oin my tiny bowmaker but they look so much easier to do if you have the proper piece of kit.
I think your bow maker would be a wonderful tool to add to my craft room. I love you tutorials on making bows – you are the queen of bows. I also enjoyed the tutorial on the honeycomb ornament. Maybe someday you can make it to the Pacific NW (Seattle area).
I hope you have a great time. I haven’t been to a convention in forever, Sigh
Good Morning Becca
A chance to win you bow maker is so delightful!!
Pick me, pick me;-)
My favorite tutorials are the ones using border punches. You have completely changed the way I look at them and all the ways to use them that I never guessed possible.
Hugs & Smiles
Trisha
Hi Becca
How exciting. Hope you have a truly great time. We don’t have anything on quite the same scale here in the UK, but it is great to go to craft fairs and be surrounded by such talent and such beautiful goodies. With regard to your tutorials – I’m not sure which is my favourite but I have to confess the one I have used most is the flap box tutorial. Just about every member of family and friend is the owner of one these gorgeous boxes – some much more ornate than others, depending on the occasion. I just adore it.
Enjoy the convention. Wish I could be there to meet you!
love from Christine xx
Don’t know that I have a favorite tutorial, but my friend and I did make the lattice one. Wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, and the cards were really wow! Enjoy your trip.
Hi Becca
I have followed your blog for a while now but have never written to you. I would just like to say your cards are stunning and elegant. I just love the colours and simplicity……..wow. I love all your tutorials but as i have to pick a favourite i would say the folded rose. Please keep them coming.
Julie
Love any tutorial that gives me opportunity to improve my skills but flowers and ribons are my favourites. Have a great time at the show.
Good morning Becca, and thanks for giving us all the chance to win one of your fabulous bow makers, so kind of you! With regard to your tutorials, I love them all, they’re of great inspiration to me. But I guess my favourites are those using border punches – love the peculiar and unusual way you use them!! Have fun at the convention and …. do some serious damages to your credit card!! ;-)
Love and hugs, Vittoria
Hi Becca,
Youa tutorials are always wonderful! but I must admit to loving the variety of ways you use ribbon. You aew such an inspiration I always look forward to seeing your wonderful creations!!
Hi Becca! Thanks for giving us a chance at winning your fabulous bow maker! My favorite of your tutorials is the one for your incredible bird cage. It’s the one that I pinned to my Pinterest board and brought me to your blog. AND THEN….when I got to seeing all the rest of your amazing creations, you had me hooked as a subscriber!
Becca,
Thank you for all you do for us readers. You have a great talent and are so willing to share. You have inspired me so much and I have learned a great deal from you. Have a great trip and enjoy!!
Linda
Hi Becca,
Greeting from New Zealand! I am a recent subscriber to your emails & I love them!!! My favourite tutorial ( out of all my favourites) would have to be what you do with ribbons. Hope you have a great time in Akron!
Hugs,Val.
Oh Becca, I am so thrilled about this fabulous giveaway!!!
My favorite tutorial is creating an ornament out of Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares.
So I’ve thrown my hat into the ring :)
Love
Sabrina
Becca I am so excited for you to get to go to Akron, Ohio. Just for you to get out and on a trip, it’s so refreshing to do something different and meet people you don’t see on a daily basis. Have a wonderful time. I hope you sell oodles of your Becca Bow Maker!! I subscribe to you and I would love to be considered for the drawing. My favorite tutorial is the one for the Christmas house ornament Pop-up card that you made with the Waltzing Mouse Cottage Stamp. I am so impressed by that little ornament and card. I haven’t been able to purchase the stamp yet though. Please put my name in for the drawing as I would love to be able to make bows like you do. Well even have as good as you do. Enjoy your journey and visiting!
Cynde
Wouldn’t be without my bow maker now. Can do tassels and pompoms too. The tutorial i like best is your organisation of the cutting dies. What a system and very clever. Like to see more ideas on storage.
As I live in England there is no way I can visit the show. I hope you have a fantstic time, you deserve a little down-time or me-time as I call it. I would love to win your peg bow maker, have tried to source one in England without success – are you planning on releasing it in the UK? I certainly hope so.
Every morning I open my email account always looking forward to see your posts!
You make the most beauuutiful and elegant cards and you share with us so many tips. I don’t know which tutorial would be my favourite, but I’m going to choose the Flower of the Loom. Such gracious and elegant ribbon flowers!
As a lover of anything floral I love your floral tutorials followed in a close second by you bows. Hope you have a good time in Argon (methinks that goes without saying! ) and many thabks for sharing your wonderful blog an for offering such a wonderful prize. I’ve been away from the internet for a while and haven’t been able to visit but what a da y to be back again!! Off to do a catch up on your wonderful blog….it will be like Christmas catching up with your beautiful designs. Lol!
Love Sheila xx
Enjoy your trip to the convention Becca. Hope you have a great time and sell many of your bow makers.
How can anyone choose just one favorite tutorial???? Not possible. I like them all.
Again, have a wonderful time.
KC
Have a really great trip to Akron!! Now you have me wondering if you will come to W. Springfield Ma. with them in June? That would be really cool! I love all your tutorials!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a peg bow maker.It would be great if they were available in the UK. My favourite tutorial is “perfect punched border frames”.Love your cards they are full of inspiration. Enjoy your upcoming trip
My favorite is the honeycomb ornament. Even the others are good. But with the lack of supplies I cannot follow certain tutorials. I’ve been a subscriber of your lovely blog for almost a year now. How could anyone not follow you for all the wonderful crafts that you share?
Sorry, but I won’t be able to attend the convention this year. Some of my friends are going. All of your tutorials are great. Thanks so much for sharing all of your creativity.
Love your work, Becca! Wish that show was here in San Antonio!
Congrats on going!! Living across the pond I won’t have a chance of course:o( It would be a dream come true to one day visit one of these conventions.
My favourite tut always used to be Becca’s Bows, I must have watched it so many times…. The other day I watched your storage ideas one and I have to say, I love that too!!
ooh, i would love to win one of your peg bow makers as i am definitely bow challenged. when they came out with wired ribbon i was so excited that i could finally tie a decent bow. it sounds so exciting to be able to attend the akron show. i am sure everyone attending will be blessed all around. i will not be attending since i live in calif. it’s just a little too far. i have been an email subscriber for over two years and it always makes my day to open yours up and see what lovely thing you have created for that day.
Have a wonderful time at the convention. I use to go to Stamp a way but it’s about a 10 hour drive from here and we haven’t gone in the past few years. Most of the conventions around here have pretty much fizzled out and I miss them.
How wonderful you’re getting out and showing off your great bow maker! Have a wonderful time. I’m sure everyone who sees it will WANT it, for sure, like me! :)
Oh, enjoy the convention! I, too, haven’t been to one in a long time. Can’t wait to see what you learn and share. Your bow maker is wonderful and I am glad to have the chance to have one of my own.
Hi Becca, I hope you have a great time at the show. I’d love to own one of your bow-makers as its my most watched tutorials. My hands now don’t work so well either. Please come back with lots of stories and give us an update on your time at the show. Hugs Rita xx
Have a wonderful time at the stamp show! I wish I could be there too. I’d love to meet you. What a great opportunity to win a bow maker! You keep going, girl! Best wishes on all your new endeavors- can’t wait to see what they are!
Hi Becca have fun at the show. I like your tight mats tutorial the best (Becca Bit). Simple, money saving and effective. I must go and watch the ones I have missed soon.
Have a blast at the convention.Love your blog and my favorite tutorial is your lattice Ribbon frame. Maybe i could actually tie abow if i won your bow maker! Did I mention i was a Pinterest junkie. Best thing they came up with. I already follow you. You are amazing.
Have fun. Pam
I am sure you will have a great time out & about, Becca. Wish I was going too! Thank you so much for offering your wonderful bowmaker. I am already an email subscriber so will definitely have to keep my fingers (& toes) crossed. LOL.
All the best!
I’m so excited for you ! Many (many!!!) years ago, my husband died, and my first trip alone was an adventure! Yeah Becca! OK, my go to tutorial will always be your bows…….thanx to you, my cards take on a feminine, professional look! (even though the grand kiddies are the only recipients!) Have a fabby time, I live in FL so cannot make the trip but so many of us will be with you in spirit!
? Cheri
BooHoo….I will be in the Akron area in May to visit my 2 best friends…..wish I was going to be there for the show…….I hope they both will visit you there!!
MaryAnne
Congrats on the trip to Akron. I’ve attended in the past, but won’t be able to make it this year. How can I resist your bow tutorials. I’ve watched them numerous times and now that you have your bow maker for sale, I can’t wait to buy one or dare I say, hopefully win one. Please take care and safe travels this weekend.
Go to Akron and have a wonderful time. Meet new people and see the sights! It will be so good for you. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
How exciting for you! Sadly I won’t b able to see you in Ohio but I WILL be following you on Pinterest!
Sounds like fun! Hope you get to come to the St. Louis stamp show too, you have a lot of fans here!
Have a wonderful time in Akron, Becca! Can’t wait to hear about it. My favorite tutorial is the one using punches to make a frame. I went directly to the EK Success website to purchase the swirls punch after seeing your card!! I also bought the one with stars for graduation cards. Thanks!
Congratulation Becca. Enjoy the stamp show. I must say you ask the hard questions. As soon as I started seeing your bow tutorials and you gave another tutorial on how to make them, I was on a mission myself to find the supplies and make one myself. After much searching I made one and just love it. Thank you for all you do and for sharing your love of crafting with us. Following your blog is a joy.
God bless,
Peggy
Enjoy your trip.

The corner punch because all what you do with . It is just fascinating.
Good week!
Francine
Have to say Becca all your cards are stunning but, i especially liked ‘Your Friendship’…March 6th 2012.
I actually tried to have a go at this in cream and burgandy for a Ruby Wedding and was quite pleased at the result although not as nice as yours!
Hugs
Gailxx
Have a great time at the show. You will enjoy meeting new people and renewing friendships. I like all of your tutorials but I will choose the border filled frame and ruffled flower. I have everything for the birdcage card but just need the courage to start it. That card was stunning.
Hi Becca! I hope you have great fun at the stamp show. I’ve never been to one. But I don’t know that we’ve ever had one here. Pick a favorite????You must be crazy with the anticipation…lol I think the vellum pocket is one of my faves. Along with the bow tutorials. I’m an email follower. I look forward to you clogging my inbox. Have fun and thanks for the chance to win. Hugs, Jess
Hi Becca! Have a wonderful safe trip. We can’t wait to hear all about it.
My most memorable tourorials would be your ribbons and bows. I can’t tell you how much they have helped me finish up my cards. Now winning a bow maker would make it that much better!
Hi Becca, I love them all! especially the box and punch and spellbinders videos! It would be to hard to pick out one! Have a wonderful safe trip! Thank you for sharing! I look forward to your blogs!
My favorite tutorial, is your bow making tute. I refer back to it alot. Thanks for the chance to win your bow maker.
I love opening up your emails to see what you have created. I found the tutorial on punching frames to be my favorite. I am using my spellbinders dies, and edge punches all the time now, because of the inspiration I’ve picked up from your amazing creations. I’m going to my first scrapbook convention here in the Boston area this weekend. I can’t wait. Have fun in Akron, and come back safe.
It’s been many years since I went to a stamp convention – and I miss it terrible! When we lived in California I attended at least 2 each year. Now in Florida there is nothing nearby….sad!! I am happy for you – hope you enjoy the convention and LOVE your bow maker and thank you for the opportunity to win one!!
As far as your tutorials go – I can’t chose just one!! I love everything you do!
I love all the cards you do! My favorite on is Faith looks up!!!! I am once again inspired by all you do and when I create spun off of you I am inspired and help to lift others and that is what life is about!!! thank you for all the countless hours you put in for us!! designsbywendysue
When I started reading your blog I could just hear your excitement (just getting out of the house can do that!) in going to the craft show and all the other project and things you have on your horizon. It is so delightful to hear someone happy! Wish I could go to Akron and meet the one making all these awesome cards, but not to be. It will be great to see what you are up to on your blog!
I started receiving your blog a few weeks ago and enjoy it very much. You have posted some very beautiful cards and given many ideas that I want to try. I look forward to receiving your posts through my email and I love the tutorials.
Happy Crafting,
Lori
If I lived in Ohio, I’d come to the show just to meet you. There is no way I could narrow the tutorials to one favorite. I like them all! Have a fun trip.
Becca, I love love love all of your cards! They are a great source of inspiration for me. I don’t think I can pick just one of your tuts as my favorite, I learn something from all of them. I am following you on Pinterest, that place is full of great things.
Thank you for the chance to win and have a wonderful time in Akron.
Oh! Have fun at the show! I love going to stamping show! You get to see new techniques and tools. I’m always to busy at the vendor area to get in any classes. So much to see!
I am a follower to your blog and would love to win one of your peg bow makers. Those bows are pesky trying to get them to look nice.

Wow sounds like a nice trip.
I love the bow maker. Your videos are great. I watch them over and over.
Who knew one could subscribe to you by email??? Now I know and can sign up.
I was so excited that you were coming to Akron! I go every year and it is a great show! I am really looking forward to meeting you. I love all your tutorials and have saved most of them in a separate folder.
I absolutely love your crafty creations and everytime I see those beautiful bows I think of the Peg Maker! I would love to win this great prize!
Yeah!!! I’m going to the Akron show, too! I went for the first time last year and saw (and bought – LOL!) a ton of amazing stuff! I’ll look for you! My favorite tutorial would be any of the Becca Bows ones. I could never tie a bow, but after seeing your tutorials, I can make half-decent ones now!
Have fun in Akron!!!
Pick just one tutorial? No way. Love them all. Wish I could be in Akron. Your cards are rich!
Hello Becca,
I am a long time subscriber already… wouldn’t want miss one of your posts!!
Thanks for the chance to win one of your fab bow makers and especially that you also grant this to your international followers as it happens quite a lot that we get shut out of things like this…
I hope you’ll have a fab time in Akron and I know how great the feeling is to be together with lots of likeminded people who “get” what you do!
Lots of love from Alex in the UK
HAVE FUN! I love your designs, tips on organization and beautiful projects. Can’t pick just one!
Thanks so much for all you do.
Wow I love all your give away but this ones is the perfect one, thanks
Have a great time in Akron!
Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize.
I love ALL your videos! I really enjoy watching how you make your bows, and I even made a simple bow-maker based on your instructions–it’s not “picture-worthy” though! LOL
All your cards and projects are masterpieces!
Take care!
HAVE FUN,,,,I love your tutorial on the bow maker, It was my fav and second is the hat pin! I think everything you do is fab :)
I will be at the Akron stamping convention too!!! Can’t wait to see you in person … FINALLY!!! My stamping group goes every year YAY!!! Wait till I tell them this morning that you’ll be there … they’re gonna flip a lid!!!
I wish I was going to the show, but no go. I look often at your bow making. I can’t tie a bow to save my life. You are so kind to give one of your bow makers away. You have the most beautiful and breathtaking cards. I enjoy looking at your blog.
My favorite tutorials are ALL of them! lol You do the most amazing things with paper, but if I have to pick, I will go with your tutorials on bow making! Oh, I would LOVE to be able to go to Akron and meet you, but it is too far! Have a great time!
Becca,
I have been getting your emails for quite awhile and am so happy to have found you. You have such great ideas! It’s hard to choose a favorite but I would have to go with making bows since this is something that is used so often. Have a great time! If it weren’t so far, I would definitely attend. Maybe you’ll come to a show closer to me. I would love to meet you.
carol b
I love all of your bow making tutorials and can now tie a bow that actually looks decent!
All of your work is stunning and I have been an admirer and email subscriber for quite sometime now :-)
Thank you so much for the chance to win!
I’m so jealous! I know you’ll have a good time! I need to wait on one to come closer to Nashville! Have lots of fun!
Becca: Thanks for the opportunity to enter the drawing. I can’t just pick a favorite tutorial. I am so amazed by all of your creations, especially your bow maker. I am terrible at creating perfect bows, but I bet when I win the bow maker you won’t be able to tell if it was “real or memorex!” Glad to hear that you are venturing out. Enjoy the convention and then “plan” for the next one. Have a great time.
Becca, One of my favorite tutorials is the Score Tape Flower Tutorial. This is such a great flower for cards. Thank you for all the time you spend inspiring others! Lynn
I am so excited for you!! I wish you would have been able to come to the
Allentown show. That’s where I did see your bow maker at. Have a great time!! Keep up all your beautiful eye candy. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the decorative border folded envelope tutorial. So very pretty! I love all your works. You’ve inspired me a lot!
I like the flower of the loom tutorial. All of your work has inspired me. Hope you have a great trip – wish I could be there!!
Hi Becca
My fav tutorials are your pretty bows.
All your tutorials are great by the way.
I sure wish I lived close to Ohio, I would relish being able to meet you face to face! Have a great time there!
Your work holds endless inspiration for me. I know every time you post a project I’m in for something special and you have never disappointed. One of my favorite tutorials that I was thrilled about was your Cuttlebug circular embossing tutorial posted October 27, 2008 I can’t tell you how much use I’ve gotten out of that one. I also loved the Lace doily Lotus tutorial. God has blessed you with tremendous talent and I’m happy that you are kind enough to share your ideas with us all. Please keep them coming,. :D
I was at the PA show disappointed not to see you. I love so many of your videos but I think the border frame and pocket card are my current favorites…in fact I made the pocket card yesterday. Thanks so much for your beautiful inspiration.
Hi Becca,
I hope you have a great trip. I wish I could be there. It’s impossible to pick a favorite tutorial…I have used so many of yours. The ribbon organization has helped me A LOT!! I guess I would have to say that the punch tutorials would have to be top on my list as I have used many of those also. If your not doing anything the weekend of May 26th there is a stamp show here in Milwaukee that Our Daily Bread will be demonstrating at. Love to have you come up for that one!
Becca,
I truly believe that you are the lady who made bows popular on cards. bows make your cards so elegant. I love all your tutorials but one of my favourite ones is making circle frames using corner punches. I have done this so many times and it one of my “go to” techniques when I want to make a fancy card. I would love to win the bow maker so my bows could resemble Becca’s!
Sending you blessing on your trip. I’m sure you will have a blast. As for my favorite tut, oh dear, I’d have to say the punched borders. With that one, so many cards etc can be made. All of them, I’d have to say, if that was legal.(lol).
Have a great time.
Hey Becca! Leaving another comment for a chance to win your PBM! I want (need) one and my budget is not very friendly right now :) I LOVE your challenge/sketch journal! What an amazing idea! I have a tendency to write things on a scrap of paper and then of course it goes missing and I have actually missed out on prizes because I forgot to check back :( Definitely will be making one of these in the very near future! Have fun in Ohio!
The bow making tuts for sure.
Rebecca
Oh to be in Akron, I’d love to meet you. Have a great time.
One of my favorite tutorials is your Lacey Flowers, I love the ease & simplicity of the flowers & always get positive responses when the card is received. Thank you for sharing your talent.
alsmouse ~C8>
Becca, hope you have a wonderful time at the show!!! And know your bow maker will be a major hit! I didn’t know there was a DVD to go with it! Great idea! Relax and enjoy, Becca!
I love all your bow tutorials and of course it would be marvellous to win your peg bow maker. Have a great time at the stamping show and I hope everyone there falls in love with the bow maker. I know I have :) :)
Becca,
Hope you have tons of fun in Akron. Thanks for generously sharing your talents. It’s hard to pick just one tutorial, I really enjoy the ones with the Spellbinders layering.
I hope your bow maker is a huge success for you and that you’ll be able to design and market additional products for us.
Niki
Morning Ms Becca, first of all I have never been to any stamping or craft show etc. So wish I could go one day, so have fun :-) I subscribed through email months ago and I love getting your emails, really! I love all your tutorials but my favorites are the ones with the ‘Punches’. Thanks for a chance to win your fabulous ‘Bow Maker’. God bless :-)
Steff M.
Hi Becca,
I am so happy for you. I Have coffee each morning with you and your tutorials, I LOVE them all but my favorite one is the Double Tailed Bow — so elegant and pretty. I hope you have a wonderful trip and REALLY enjoy yourself. I wish I lived in the area — wish also that I could meet you face to face. You have such great talent — and a BIG THANKS for sharing your sense of style with us.
I have enjoyed several of your tutorials. To pick one…hard! I have learned a lot from your different techniques. Thanks so much!
Becca I loved the tutorials you have done on using the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page punches to create “new” paper that looks so professional. Learning how to get the punches to go right next to each other in a line was such fun to do. Thanks for all the things you share with your fans—I’m a big one! Enjoy Akron!
Mary
Primitive Seasons
Boy, would I love to win this giveaway! Thanks for the chance. My favorite tutorial is the “Fluttering Butterflies, How did she do that?”. It is so innovative and lovely. You are very gifted and thanks for sharing your techniques. It is appreciated.
God bless, Hope
Hi Becca
I hope you enjoy your trip to the show in Akron, Oh? It will be a pleasureable and memorable trip for you meeting so many wonderful crafters.
It’s hard to pick one of my favorite videos of yours… however, one thing I have used that I learned is how to make a “Rectangle Frame with Corner Punches Tutorial”. Thanks….
Let us know how your trip went?
Blessings and hugs…Leanne
Have a great time in the Buckeye State Wish I could be there. Your bowmaker is great.
Have a great time in the Buckeye State Wish I could be there. Your bowmaker is great.
Hi Becca
Would love the chance to win the Bow Maker…I looked everywhere for the double bow video and then realized you had transferred it to your DVD….quite understand.
Love that tutorial plus the basic tying of a bow….have a great trip
xxxxx
The tutorial I would pick today is the Border Filled Frame.
You did another one using the Martha Stewart border punch which I like almost as well but I’ll save that for another day.
After that would be the Bow Maker tutorial, but I don’t remember how to make the bows (always had to run to the computer when making one) and there are no longer any instructions. Waaaaaaa ! ! Everyone loved the bows and considered them my signature piece on my cards no matter how many times I told them that these were Becca’s Bows!! The bow maker is collecting dust in a corner of my craft room; now little more than a decoration with all the lovely bits I added to personalize it and make it beautiful just for me. (Sigh…) I’m not creative in that direction, so “bye, bye Becca Bows; hello plain old bows.
Unless I win one! I would give the Bow Maker to my sister and we could share the CD. She has been wanting one but I used stuff I just happened to have around because we had just done some remodeling when I made mine from your tutorial.
I am one of your Frugal Crafters (by necessity) and can’t quite justify buying one even though I know the craftsmanship is way beyond mine and I think it is a great value (I couldn’t purchase the materials I would need for less than your price unless everything was on a super sale as were the items for my original one).. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Enjoy your trip! BTW… Akron is little more than a suburb of Cleveland although a very nice town with super nice people. (Cleveland’s nickname is “The Mistake By The Lake”). You’ll have to let us know if the smell of the tire factories is still strong in the air in Akron. Probably much of the tire industry has moved but, if not, you’ll get the smell of burning rubber wafting in the breeze 24/7….
Of course I would LOVE to win your bow maker. What a FANTASTIC tool.
Have fun in Akron, OH.
Thanks Becca. Blessings!!
Hi Becca!! I hope you have a great trip. You deserve to get out of the house every once in a while. My favorite video’s of yours are the “bow making” ones. I have learned so much from you and now I make beautiful bows as well. Thanks for all you do for us Becca!!!!
Hi Becca
Oh how I would appreciate meeting you in person!! Your creativity speaks volumes of what a special lady you are. I would like to attend the Buffalo. N.Y. show again this year (Daily Bread was there last year). If you were going to be there I would make it a priority of mine!!
Hugs, prayers and blessings
Dorothy
I really liked your circle frame video tutorial using a corner punch. I thought that was just such a neat concept and really utilized “thinking outside the box”, or in this case outside the circle.
I’m going to try and come to Akron, would love to meet you! Have to wait and see what my enabler has to say about the drive(4 hrs). Thanks for all you do.
blessings
So glad to hear you’re going to be out and about! Wish I lived closer! I’m sure you’ll have a great time hobb-knobbing with your fellow crafters! I would love a REAL bow maker and I am a bit biased, but feel ALL of your tutorials are great! The variations on bows are MY own personal faves!
Hey Becca,
Have fun at the show! You do such a wonderful job sharing things with your followers, but I must say i think the cuttlebug circular is my fav, since I can actually do it myself! Thanks for the chance to win!
Hello Becca
I am glad to hear you’re getting out. Come on down to TEXAS we’d love to meet you. How can you ask one to pick a favorite tutorial, that’s a hard one.
I love yours bow tutorials And say all the time I wish Becca was close to make my bows (LOL) or at least teach me.(right) but other than your bows I love punches (Mitered frames) Enjoy your travel and again thanks for ALL you share with us.
Be blessed!
Hi Becca,
What a wonderful and necessary giveaway! I hope I win it, God knows I need it! Do have fun for yourself and the ones who are unable to get away! Thanks for the opportunity, and keep inspiring us with your wonderful talent!
Cariños,
María Alba Negrón
One of my favorite videos was your instructions for a homemade peg bow maker. I used what I had on hand and just made a wood strip with the movable dowels, no ribbon holder. It sits on my desk and is used often. But I’d love to upgrade! :o) Thanks for the fun!
My favorite tutorial is Becca’s bows without a doubt. Before I signed up to your blog, I was a terrible bow maker, now I get lots and lots of compliments!
Thanks for sharing so much of your talent!
Love your vellum pocket tutorial. I always enjoy Becca’s Bits and have learned many interesting things. Hope you are having a blast in Akron.
My favorite tutorial? It must be the one I use most – the one where you show how to use this incredible tool.
Pinteerst? I am trying to stay away. I see all kinds of good things but have so many other things that need my attention. Arrrgh
Hi Becca, I am sooo.. stinking excited to be getting an opportunity to meet you. I live in Michigan and I asked my husband if he would drive the four hours to get a chance to meet you. And he agreed, he is such a sweetheart, and the fact that he has a cousin in Akron that he would love to see, worked out perfectly. God is good. I know you will be extremely busy, but I hope to get an opportunity to take a picture with you, please! I recently purchased your Bow Maker and am enjoying the results. I am a member of Pinterest and my board consist of all my favorites of your gorgeous creations. What a Beautiful sight! Just imagine, all your creations pictured in one place…. Sigh! breathtaking! If I just had to pick a favorite it would be the new spellbinders Persian Ensemble. The creative way you combined the motifs and accents together is truly Amazing! Hope to see you soon. Hugs! Patricia Tumpkin
Becca, I love your blog and read it everytime you post something! To win the bow maker would be awesome! Have fun at the show!
Have fun on your trip! I’m sure that everyone will love you as much as those of us who only know you on your blog! Wish I could be there to meet you.
I’m a new follower to your blog. I just watched your bow tutorial. how nice to make “perfect” bows all the time. What a great product. Thanks for sharing such wonderful cards. Love them.
I love all your tutorials but the ones that I go back to are your bow tying ones. I am always trying to get my bows to look like the ones that you always have on your beautiful cards. Have a great trip and enjoy the show!
Wish I could come to Arkon but just tooooo far away. I love your bow tutorials! I was just at a ScrapFest here so I know (my first) all the excitment and fun. Have a great time Becca. Dianne
thank you for the chance to win a Becca Bow Maker! My favorite Becca Bit is Punching Frames–I am now working with my punches in new ways. Love your beautiful cards and all your tutorials
So excited your going to a show….wish it was here….(TN)…but gotta spread the love….I’ve been following you for years now….I don’t know what I would do without your creations….and your experience on using spellbinder dies to the fullest.. …my favorite…is a ruff one….but the one that come to mind is always on how you make your bows…and the ribbons itself…..
Thank you for the chance…..
Haven’t commented in a while…life does interfere…but I have been looking almost daily. I find it really difficult to pick a favorite tutorial, but I’d have to say the one about using seam binding as ribbon. I jumped online immediately following that tutorial and purchase some rolls of seam binding (that I’m sad to say are languishing in my ribbon keeper) so I can custom dye them and use my version of your peg bow maker and the little round bow maker (can’t remember what you called it) that I do use a bit. Have fun in Ohio. I’m waiting for you to get to the Atlanta area.
Sounds like you’re going to have a blast at the Stamp Show. Which I could be there as well but I know you will have a good time for all of us and will be thinking of you having ‘fun’.
I enjoy the tutorials on different ways of using the punches.
Thank You for this giveaway opportunity
Enjoy your trip

I love, love, love Pinterest.com. I have been a member for awhile and always enjoy browsing Pinterest. Browsing Pinterest is like going on a trip while staying at home. I like all of your tutorials but my favorites are your flowers. I live in Ohio but won’t be at the show so have fun! Oh, and as always, thanks for the opportunity to win wonderful items.
Hi Becca. Thanks for the chance to win one of your peg bow makers. I’d love to win it. My favorite tutorials are your bow tutorials and the recent one on using a punch to make a border frame. I love everything I’ve seen done by you. I am a big fan of you and your style of paper crafting. I hope you enjoy your trip. Someday I’ll make it to a scrapbook/card making show. Maybe in a few years when I retire!
I am very new to the papercraft world! I feel that there aren’t too many papercrafters in my age group(20-25)… I am ready to change that. :-) I already have a small following so I have high hopes! Even my boyfriend likes to diddle around with my grand calibur. I SUCK at bows though! Which is really bad since I’m currently working at a flower shop where that skill is a wee bit essential.. :-/ Narrowing the tutorial down was hard but my top pick would have to be Cuttlebug Circular Embossing Tutorial! Hello Awesomeness! Works like a charm and how clever do I feel?! I really hope that I can feel that way about bows too! Thank You for ALL that you do for your crafting followers! We all love and appreciate what you do and how well you do it!
I already own your bow maker, but I would love to win one and give it to my sister. I love bows and ribbons of all kinds (we probably shouldn’t use the word obsessed…) I LOVE your cutting trick with the ruler to get nice straight cuts. It hasn’t been a problem since I’ve adopted your suggestion; uneven cuts used to bother me so! Thanks for your inspirational blog! Love every one!
Smiles and hugs,
Carol
I am so excited for you to get “out and about.” :)
I will be heading the other direction that weekend or I would definitely love to meet you, Becca! :) I am heading to Atlanta Sunday, and with a Chic-B-B-Q on Saturday not sure I would be able to get away much to drive to Akron either. I do hope you have great weather while you are there.
As for my favorite tutorial — umm, all of them! LOL, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the way you created the punched border frame. I don’t have a bow maker, and I would definitely LOVE to have one of yours. Safe travels and Hugs, Kelly
Hi Becca, wow it is hard to say which tutorial is my favorite, because I learn from each and everyone. If I had to choose today it would be the tutorial on the MS butterfly punch. I loved your card, I CAS it, it didn’t look exactly like yours but I loved how it came out. It was my mother’s Mother’s Day card two years ago. Thanks for all the inspiration you have given me in my cardmaking!!!! I would love to win the bow maker, even though I have already purchased one. It would be a great gift for one of my friends. Have a great time in Akron, I wish I could come, I did a mapquest, and it would take me 6-61/2 hours to get there.
I would be thrilled to win one of these. I have become addicted to your blog and cannot get over the use of bows to make a card so beautiful.
Luci
Can’t come to Akron but would love to have the bow maker. I may finally get my bows to look right and not stick up every which way. I’ve lately given in to buying my bows!
I am so happy that you are going to get away! Enjoy your trip. I liked the tutorial on making a frame with the border punch. Very creative!
Becca, I have been absent from reading blogs for awhile now, but as I start back, YOURS is always the first one I look at. Love, love, love your classic and elegant cards.
My favorite tutorial is right angle punching. I’m certainly no expert but I’ve spent quite a bit of time playing.
Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
Hi Becca…I just drool every time I see your beautiful creations! There is so much love and care put into every single detail.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of your bow makers…you are so very kind.
Take care
Debbie
How nice to be at a stamping show, Becca. What a way to step out! I love all your tutorials and especially the ones with the punches like the border frames. Thanks for a chance to win your Bow-easy too!
Hope you have a wonderful time at the stamp show! I love the tutorial
on how you made the round box bow maker. I still want to make one,
one of these days…. Thanks for the chance to win you fabulous Bow
Maker!
Becca I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you create!!!!! You are such an inspiration to so many crafters!!!
God Bless You!!!!
Hi Becca, I love all your tutorials and I’m afraid I can’t pick just one as my fav. Have a great time at the stamp show. hugs
Sounds like a fun trip! Have a good time. My favorite tutorials are the ones where you show tricks and tips for punches. Although, they always make me want that particular punch. You are such an enabler…
Becca time you got out of the house lol. enjoy every minute of the show and I bet everyone will be coming up to you wanting to see what you are going to show ,and you will be the most popular person at the show.
Good luck and enjoy it.
Hugs Trish.
In my former comment I forgot to add the one thing you asked for and it is what tutorial did i like best. They all are good. Plain and simple but the cd organization tutorial helped me the most at this time. Ask me a few months ago and I would have said your bow tutorial would have been my favorite.
Thanks Becca for the chance to win a little surprise! Whoo Hoo!
What a fun show that sounds like. I would LOVE to win one of these fun and amazing bow makers so I could add some wonderful handcrafted bows to my projects and cards!!!
I LOVE going to stamp shows, just went to one in London last week and had a fantastic time so hope you do too – I’m sure you will!!!!
My favourite tutorial of yours is without doubt the very detailed one on bows. I had no idea there were so many beautiful bows to be tied! It would be wonderful to win one of your fantastic bow makers so I can at last do perfect bows and see a beautiful ‘Becca bow’ on MY cards!
The cards and projects you make are so awesome and creative. My favorite tutorials are about making bows and I have watched them several times. Winning your Becca Bow maker would be the ultimate prize for me. Thanks for all you share and for the chance to win this wonderful prize.
My favorite was your basketweave tutorial. Have used and loved that many times. Thanks for the opportunity.
Your blog is my very favorite and I tell all my friends about you amazing cards. I would love to have one your bow makers; I am definitely bow-challenged!!!! I have a group of women that come over ever month to stamp and to have your bow maker to use each month would be a real hit with them!
I love all of your tutorials and have learned so much. Would love to see some pics of your studio.
Saundra
Double tailed bow technique is my absolute fav. I use Organza ribbon and air brush several random colours on with Promarkers.
I love, love, love your work. The bow maker is cool and a great tool for paper work and sewing. Since I’m a sewer, I’m going to pick your picture frame pin cushion as my favorite. Have fun on your stamping weekend. Take lots of money!
Love everyone of your tutorial’a ! Your card’s are truly wonderful like a breath fresh air
Can’t wait till they come into my email box .Have fun on your stamping weekend make sure and take lot’s money
Love all the tutorials on making flowers etc
everything that is put on youtube is so easy
a Big Thank’s for everything you make and find the time to show us for without these i couldn’t make half the articles especially the flower’s
I would love to own a peg bow maker! Hope I win!
Wish I was going to the show too – have a great time
Love the flower tutorials
I forgot to mention I love the figure 8 bow!
I just found your blog a couple of days ago and now am a follower by email. I’ve watched several of your tuts on youtube and added you to my favs. I don’t think I could choose just one…I loved the frugal ribbon one, the flowers, the punches, the pin cushion frame…they’ve all been good. Each one I’ve watched has been inspiring and so well done…thank you for sharing your time and talent w the rest of us. I’m glad I found you…your work on your cards is beautiful! Enjoy your getaway!
Carol
Hi Becca, I love going to the stamp shows too. So much inspiration to see. I love all of your bows! They are all my favorite! Have fun in Akron. Wish I could go! I will just have to wait for the stamp show in Novi Michigan in August. Would love to see you at that one! Hugs, Mary
HOW I WISH I COULD GO – good luck with your bowmaker and have a great time – All your cards just shine like a light for me. Thanks so much – my card making is limited and I work at SLOW pace but its so enjoyable and I get a super kick when I make something that comes just from my happy (and sometimes very untidy) paper adventures
Phil
Hi Becca,
Enjoy your time at the stamp show. I just know you’ll come back with lots of goodies to show us, so we’ll be inspired to use them too. I just was looking back over your tutorials, and have a hard time choosing just one favorite, because they’re all so good. Your bow-making tutorials are favorites, but I also really liked the ones where you showed how to use corner punches to make round and rectangular frames. Thanks for offering one of your peg bow makers in this giveaway. We all have hopes of becoming bow pros if we win.
Becca,
I so love my bow maker. It’s sure to be a hit at the show!
Debbie
Although I have watched almost all the tutorials once, twice,…… I have watched the Border FIlled Frame several times (love it) and finally found the punch in town. While I was out buying, buying and buying, I picked up the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and several die cuts and another linear punch to try on a frame. I decided thats enough until I get more coupons. I am almost ready to make my first elaborate card…..LOVE them all. You are so talented!!
Funny you’re giving away a Bow Maker. I opened your blog and said to my husband, I soooo have to have one of those. Have a great trip…I’m jealous…lol
My favorite tutorial is “Perfect Punched Border Frames”. It’s great and I actually made a lovely frame using my doily punch, which is my favorite punch. Thanks a million Becca and I hope I win a peg bow maker. If not I’ll have to purchase one. Take Care!!!
Becca, have a ball in Akron.
I’m sure your Bow Maker will be a huge success – enjoy!
My favourite of your videos is ‘Making Straight Cuts’ LOL. Your tutorial was priceless to me – thank you v.v. much. Your Flowers are fab and the Punching around the page videos etc but I couldn’t cut a straight line if my life depended on it, so everything else is a big bonus!!
Safe journey.
Mary
Have fun Becca. I wish I could go—I only live one hour away—but I don’t think I can make it Sat. or Sun.
Welcome Becca, to Ohio. I don’t live in Akron, but close in Olmsted Falls a suburb of Cleveland. I don’t know if I can make it this time but I’d love to meet you. I was one of the early ones to get the Bow Maker. I really love it. I don’t know which tutorial I like best it’s really hard to choose. I like the tutorial for the bowmaker. I’ve made a few bows for my cards and I got a favorable response. The bow maker makes it goof proof to make a beautiful bow or bows. Thanks for designing it. I love all your Beautiful Cards. I love them all. I’d love to win and give it to my niece who is new to card making, but she loves all the goodies I give her. I had her and her mother over for a card making class. We had a wonderful time. So enter me in the Giveaway.
Enjoy & Take Care,
Charlene
Becca,
I will be there! I hope I get to meet you! I love your bow maker video!
A while back, you showed us how to make what I think is called a “layout tool”, where you use card stock with an opening the size of your cards, so it helps to choose which part of decorator paper to use, how to layout the components of a card, etc. I really liked that idea, and utilize your tip regularly. Thanks for sharing your great ideas with all of us. And, thanks again for the chance to win!
Have a wonderful time Becca you sure deserve a break.My favourite tutorial is the bow making which i use often,and would love to have the bow maker.Thanks for the chance to win.
Lucky You! How I would love to get to a stamping convention! I saved your bow maker tutorial and keep thinking I will get around to making one… But the chance to receive one is too good an opportunity to pass it.Thanks for the offer.
Another tutorial i like is your recent one on the border filled frame. Very good information!!!
I thought you had also included a video of how to do the decorative label punch frame… but i couldn’t find it again.. sorry if it wasn’t you… but I was sure you had a version.
my favorite tutorial (so far) is the honeycomb ornament from last november.i used the tutorial to create an easter egg ornament. it brought back memories of church basement decorations from looooooong ago. thanks for all your inspiration.
Have a wonderful time at the show and thanks for the chance to win one of your bow makers. Ann Lind
Oh Becca, I’m so excited you will be coming to Akron! I hope to meet you in person, as I feel I already know you through your amazing blog! It’s so hard to pick just one tutorial. I love anything bows and especially your double bow tutorial. Thank you for the chance to win one of your bow makers!
Kathy
I love your blog and especially anything you do with the beautiful bows that you make. Have a grand time in Ohio.
Becca, I’ve been thinking and I still can’t come up with my “favorite” tutorial. I love ’em all. Must admit that I’m very partial to the bow ones, but still couldn’t pick out just one! I hope that you will continue to do bow tutorials. Months ago you teased about a new bow, but I don’t think it ever happened.
R/
Have a wonderful time, Becca…if anyone deserves it, you certainly do! I love ALL of your tutorials so I’ll just mention the one I watched last which is the lacey flower one. I have SB lacey circles, so I’m definitely going to try it. Thanks for all the inspiration. Hugs, Kathy
I always learn something from your awesome “Becca Bits”. Thank you for sharing so many of your great tips!
Oh goodness…….I love all your tutorials, so I really can’t pick a favorite…as they ALL are!!! Have a great time at the stamp show! Some day for me to make it to a stamp convention…..*sign*….
Hi Becca,
My fav tutorial was the bird cage card in the box! Amazing! Travel safely to Akron.
Tammie
The rectangle frame with corner punches is pure genius!
I love all your tutorials but I really love the ones where you show us how to make beautiful bows. Would love t win one of your bow makers.
Hope you will have a perfect time!!!! You deserve it!
One of my fans is what you showed us how to use the ‘Modern Cube’ EK Succes punch to make the beautiful 4″ x 4″ Asian look background!!!! Love it!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
I love all your tutorials so I don’t think I could pick a favorite! I guess I shouldn’t be entering your contest because my sister gave me one of your bow makers this weekend (love, love, love it!!) but if I win, I am going to give it to a fellow crafter.
This weekend my sister and I watched the video and made bows for hours and now that I know how to do it, I’ll be putting more bows on my cards and you get the credit for that!
This is a wonderful bowmaker and I highly recommend it! Blessings to you, Becca, for all you do!
I couldn’t pick one of your tutorials as my fav…I have enjoyed them all…and I would love to win your bow maker…I am a TERRIBLE bow maker…thanks for the opportunity Jan
Always love to view your beautiful blog, have a safe and fun trip!
I really enjoyed making boxes for my grandchildren, neices and nephews for Christamas using the Christmas Tree Box Tutorial this last November.
I hung them on the Christmas Tree with their Christmas presents enclosed. They enjoyed taking off the tree and opening them. I like all of your tutorials please keep them coming but I really enjoyed this particular one. I looked forward everyday to checking your blog for your latest creation. Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent with us.
I too like many of your tutorials. But, I think the one with the tripple bows is my favorite. You do such BEAUTIFUL work! I’m in ahh over them all. When I first came across your website, I sent it over to my friend and said, “have you ever seen anything like this”? Have a fun and save weekend. Peggy
Oh Becca I just love all your work always, but one tutorial I really loved was the one where you punched rightangled borders I think you called them? Where youmade these fantastic layers punched out. I loved how that looked, but I love all you do, as it always looks like a million.
Hello I love all of your tutorials but my favorite is the 6 loop bow. Thanks for sharing all of your creativity.
A friend has just recently told me about your site so I,m having a wonderful time looking at your beautiful cards and watching tutorials. Thank you.
Cherry
Oh Becca, how could anyone pick just one tutorial – they are all so inspirational!! I check your site daily – not always just to have a nose at your latest card, but to read all you write about your life over there in the States. Your quiet determination to carve a life for yourself without your best bud by your side to encourage you is so inspirational to me .. as is your generosity in sharing all your techniques for those of us who can only slap our foreheads and shout DOH! because we never saw the potential that was obviously immediately apparent to you, be it a sheet of paper or a nestie shape!! I don’t post often on here but I just had to with this – I am a Brit who admires you enormously … can you tell *wink*. Have a super time at Akron and I hope your bow maker continues to “sell, sell, sell”!
Becca hi I am going to adventures in stamping and can not wait to meet u
and was wondering can u sign the Annies attic book the one with the
wedding projects on it. I would love that if u could.Thanks Carolyn
Thanks for your wonderful website Becca. It always gives me inspiration and helps me “think outside the box”.
Have a great day.
craftymom205 at yahoo dot com
Becca – your Bow Maker is not only practical but beautiful! Have fun at the stamp show!
Hi Bec,
I loved your “ruched ribbon” tutorial .. and have used this technique for a card for my sister- in- law!!
Only recently found your page but am enjoying learning a lot of fun new ways to do things…thanks
God bless
Carol
Becca,
Thank you for this opportunity to win the bow maker. Congratulations on inventing it. One of my favourite tutorials is the ruffled flower. It is hard to pick one because I love all of them. Have fun at the convention.
Enjoy Akron!
Love all your tutorials! I was looking for one I really liked, but can’t find it. If I remember correctly you were showing how you made a flower, and it took lots of folds, Oh well, enjoy yourself!
Blessings,
Hi Becca — have FUN and be safe in your travels! My FAV tutorial to date is the Lattice Basket which was sooo fun to make and sooo CUTE!!! Thanks again for sharing it. You already know I’d LOVE to have a peg bow maker!
Perfect punched border frames is my fav tutorial, BUT all of them are and in particular the bow making ones…love them and love trying them out..
I live in Australia so certainly won’t be there :( ?
Have a blessed trip and come back refreshed. Thanks for all the cool ideas you share with everyone.
Thanks for the chance at your fab ‘Bow Maker…I’m jealous of all those lucky people in Akron who will get to see you demonstrate this. I have been fortunate enough to help Kelley and Mark at some shows it will be a fun filled time.
Hi Becca, I don’t post often on here but just wanted to tell you that yours is the website I visit more regularly as I find it so inspirational to me! You’re truly the one and only bow guru, and it would surely be wonderful to have one of your bow makers. I’m sure it will be one of Akron best sellers!!
Hugs, Vittoria
Hi Becca,
I love your ribbon tutorial, I have that in my favorites so that I can get to it when I need a review. Maybe one day I will master it. I already own your bow maker, but love the opportunity to win it and give it as a gift. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!
Becca, you can clug up my email box, no problem, it’s always a pleasure to read your blog…..thank you for your work, you have talent and you share it…very nice of you….i did like the christmas tree box….but all your tutorial are good….
have fun in Akron.!!!!
I love your blog. My favorite tutorial is how to make bows! I’d love to have your bow maker. I always look forward to reading your blog; love it!
As always a big thank you to you for all that you do for sharing with us!
You know Becca, I really love all your tutorials, but another one I really enjoy is the Folded Rose. I have yet to try it but you make it look so easy and I have watched it a couple of times to get my head around it :) Pinterest frightens me – I know if I start I won’t get anything done! I already spend too much time sitting at my computer blog surfing! Thanks for the chance to win your fabulous Peg Bow Maker – my bows are pathetic!
I just love the way you layer all those spellbinders dies.
I would love to get a bow maker. I love all the bows that you have made and wanted to make a bow maker with your instructions but have not been able to make one, glad I never did, because now I can purchase one from you. Or maybe win one! Thank you for the chance to win.
Good morning, Becca,
One of the first things I do at my computer each morning is look to see what creation you have posted for us. If there isn’t a new post, I’ll check back periodically throughout the day, thinking you may have had a busy morning and at some point you may get time to post something. I know, I’m hooked on AMAZING PAPER GRACE!!! I’m such a visual person that your tutorials are God sends to me. I have used many of them but particularly enjoy “Punch a Perfect Bordered Frame”. I love using paper punches and this tutorial gives versatile use for them. Thank you for all your “help”. Have fun on your crafting trip.
I would so love to be going with you! Have a great time!
I absolutely loved the birdcage you made… I thought it was simply fascinating!
If I win the bow maker my new favorite tutorial will be how to use it. ; )
Hope you are having a marvelous time!
I wish I lived close enough to any of the shows to every visit one. That would be such fun! More eye candy that I could possible take in, however. You have so many wonderful tutorials, it’s hard to pick. I guess some of my faves would be the border punch ones. Thanks so much for offering the bow maker. I’d love to win one.
The bowmaker would be so nice to have to be able to make beautiful bows like yours. Thank you for giving me the chance to own one! I am an email subscriber and look forward to each of your posts. You do absolutely beautiful work.
Today the best tutorial , how to make your bow.
Each tutorial is precious . They are so professionally done. It is just a real
Pleasure to watch.
I learn so much with all those.
Merci beaucoup for doing thoses for us.
Francine
Righto!!! Second choice for favorite tutorial would be “Perfect Mitered Frame using Border Punch”. This has saved me so much money by not having to buy those sets of border & corner punches which are WAY expensive! I am concerned that these favorite tutorials are going to go away just as the Becca Bows did. When a designer has step-by-step instructions that I can print out, I do that so that I can refer back to the technique when I need to. With these video tutorials, I’m not sure what to do. Gonna have to check with DH; he’s my computer go-to person.
It would be brilliant to have the bow maker.I loved your bow making tutorials and miss them. Would love it if it was on sale on the UK. Whenever I have a little free time I go through your tutorials to keep trying new things. Have a great time in Ohio – it’s getting closer!
I Love this bow maker! Yes, I already purchased one, but if I were lucky enough to win one then I’d give it as a gift. All my friends want one:-) This is so easy to use and my cards are stunning!
I can’t pick just one. Love all your work, you’re just so talented. Thanks for sharing with all of us…
I love the tutorial about using this awesome tool you are giving away!
Thank you again for the chance to win and have a wonderful trip!!
Sue Brailey
Love the bow tutorials – My husband made me a bow maker based on your specifications right after you posted – but it is not as elegant as the one you now have for sale – wish I had waited. If I win I will pass the old one to a friend – love all the great work you do and thank you for sharing
I love your “Corner Punch meets Just Rite Stamper” tutorial. I love how you extended the use of the punch to make it even more versatile and created a totally new look in the process.If someone didn’t know it was a corner punch, they would have to look twice.
How can I choose a favorite blog when I love each and everyone!!!! For the sake of this contest I will say I like the current blog, as you have, as always done an outstanding job on this Mother’s Day card.
Thank you!
One of my favorite tutorials, there are so many!, was making angels out of pins and metal beads! Hope you have a great time in Akron! Thanks for a chance to win, your bows are always awesome!
Jenny L.
Your cards are so beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win your bowmaker…I’m back for another chance and keeping my fingers crossed.
I adore your blog & have to stop by daily even if I don’t get an email update. I get excited to see your latest creations because I always learn something new.
One of my favorite tutorials is the one using the scalloped edged frame & weaving ribbon through the holes to create a lovely lattice.
~C8>
I really like your Fleur de Lis Ornament tutorial. I made one last year for mother at Christmas. Dianne
Happy travels to you, Becca! Hope you have a wonderful time in Akron. Wish I could be there too but it’s too far for me to travel right now. I have given four, yes FOUR, of your bow makers as gifts so far and my friends were all thrilled with them! I still don’t have one myself but I do have one my Dear Husband made for me following your instructions! (Gee whizz! I bet THAT comment puts me out of the running for the prize give away!) I would really like to have the DVD that comes with Becca’s Bow Maker as it is a wonderful tutorial as are all of your tutorials! Blessings to you!
I stopped in to say Hi! I absolutely love your bows and wish mine looked half as pretty!
Hugs, antonella :-)
Your tutorial on the figure 8 bow is my favourite Becca – though to be honest I love them all – and often come back just to check I am doing something the right way. As I live on a very small island – I really appreciate internet tutorials – otherwise I’d never get any! Thanks for all yo share – your work is truly inspirational. I do so hope you enjoy your trip. J x
One of my favorite tutorials is the Peg Bow Maker as it shows several different kinds of bows in different widths. It is amazing that you made the original yourself. The loud sounds of saws running is an instant “don’t think so” curtailment for me! Hope you are having a wonderful timely trip to Akron!
Becca, your work is amazing, you inspire everyone who sees it. Enjoy your time in Akron, wish my friends and I could be there to meet you.
THANKS FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. LOVE YOUR CARD TODAY.
Hi Becca, I grew up not far from Akron, but am now in Wyoming. Wish I could be there to meet you! Wishing you much success and good times. I had seen a tutorial on your honeycomb ornament, which led me to your blog, which I thoroughly enjoy following now!
i love your tuts on tying bows. can i borrow your fingers? mine are all thumbs. thanks for the chanc3e to win. i hope you are having a marvelous time at the convention. bring us back some wonderful ideas.
Time is what I need, Becca, can you help with that … Time to CASE all your beautiful cards. I hope you have a marvelous time at convention and that you get inspired in new ways. You do inspire us … And by the way, I don’t believe I have seen a tutorial of your that I haven’t fallen in love with !
Really enjoyed your tutorial on the corner punch frame a long time ago. I ran right out and got a corner punch and tried it! All your tutorials are wonderful. You are sooooo talented!
All your tuts are great. Thanks for the blog candy. Who couldn’t use the bow maker, unless of course you already owned one!
Love your Mother’s Day card too! Very pretty.
Blessings,
Stephanie
Becca I love your blog and especially enjoy your tutorials utilising your punches. I am a hugh punch fan and have lots but have learnt to do more with them since watching your posts…have also ended up buying a couple extra too :)
Have fun at convention.
I had my husband make a bow maker when you first put the instructions up, bless his heart. But, he drilled a few holes too large making it so hard to use. He worked so hard I hate to ask him to redo it so mostly it just sits and looks pretty. I hope I win one I can actually use because I love your bows so much. You are going to rock that show!!!
Hi Becca,
I get out less than you do! (smile) I live in Virginia so it’s not possible to see you in the flesh but I would hope to be so fortunate as to win your ribbon maker. I love your designs. You are blessed by God with a gift to enthrall others with your creations. I just marvel at your designs.Keep on keeping on.
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your peg bow makers. You make such beautiful bows with it. I LOVE all of your tutorials-you are so inspiring.
I also love your flower tutorials! Thank you for another chance to win!
I right south of Akron but can not attend the show. Maybe next year.
Another favorite tutorial of yours is for the Lattice Basket. What a gorgeous piece you created. Thank you so much for sharing how you made it and for the template too.
I wish you could come to Seattle and do a show. Your so talented it’s amazing. :)
If I have to pick just one, maybe I’ll choose Flower of the Loom. I love home made tools, just as I love home made everything!
You make the most elegant cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also love the tutorials for using corner punches. Love all the designs you show us. Thanks for the chance to win your bow maker.
Made pocket card #2, still have to say this is one of my favorites. It’s hard to choose with all your beautiful work. I’ve been thinking about trying the punch border frame tonight. Thanks so much for the inspiration and instruction.
I am very impressed with the punch designs you make for your cards. I had no idea you could punch all the way around the card to make a beautiful border. Some people are just too smart. I love to learn new things that you can do with what you already have.
my fav video is how to use the punches to make frames
REALLY—-I have to pick just one! I guess if I have to pick just one it would be the pleated background-just beautiful. Thanks. (Wish you would come to the Chantilly show. Would love to see you in person!)
Well I’m sorry,,,,,,,, I can’t just pick one….. your cards and bows, flowers are just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I would love to win your bowmaker and have LOVELY bows on my cards that I make. Please keep up the GREAT work you are a world of inspiration,,,THANK-YOU sooooooooooooooo much!!! Best of luck to you at the show!!!!
Have a super trip, sounds like fun, fun, fun!! One of my favorite tutorials is a very simple one…..dying seam binding for bows, that way the bow can match the ink perfectly….absolutely genius
I’d love a bow maker, have a great time!
Hi Becca!
I’m new to card making and just LOVE your blog and beautiful cards. You are such an inspiration. I’ve already incorporated one of your designs on several “Thank You” and “Thinking of You” cards. (Did I say I’m new at card making???)
My brother just recently passed and I wanted to send “special” Thank You cards; not just the run-of-the-mill cards you can buy at the dollar store.
I look forward each day to getting your messages and seeing what new designs you have for us. Thank You from my heart to yours.
I like your tutorial where you demonstrate how to make a flower bow using a modified round wooden box. The bows are very frilly and cute.
All of your tutorials are fantastic! LOVE them all, and I appreciate all the time it takes to prepare a tutorial. And, you do such a great job of explaining everything – making it seem so easy! LOVE all the various bows and flowers that you demonstrate. Thank you for offering one of your bow makers!
Hi Again, Becca!
I forgot to say which Tutorial I like the best. This one is easy for me; it’s the Spellbinders Storage! Since being introduced to your Blog and beautiful designs, I am now on a mission to acquire as many Spellbinders die cuts as I can afford (maybe more than I can afford!).
Thank you for inspiring me to get my Spellbinders organized!
Thought of another of your tutorials that I liked…the pin box ribbon flower/bow.
Today’s card was simply gorgeous!
R/
Good Morning Becca
Have a wonderful trip!
One of my fav’s was the budget frame pin cushion.
So cute, so easy.
Hugs & Smiles
Trisha
Have a great time!
I have long admired your bows and have wanted your bow maker. Maybe
I’ll win. :)
One of the tuts I really loves is the one with the birdcage. Unfortunately I don´t have the dies yet, but I have bookmarked the tut, so when I get them, it´ll definitely be the first I´ll do with them. It just looked sooooo fantastic.
Missed adding my name yesterday, April 23rd, so I am remembering to do so today. I am SO praying for one of your Becca Peg Bow Makers. If I were able to purchase it, I would but at present, we are a one-income family of 6 and it is not possible. I love to craft for other people and bring joy to them.
My heart is to bring encouragement and blessing to them. So, I need to pray and am asking others to do so. Thank you so much for sharing your creative talents that the Lord has given to you, Becca … I have been an email subscriber for several years now and I enjoy each day that I visit you in my inbox. Keep up the great creations! ~Amy S.~
Hi Becca
Hope you have a fab time.
Thank you so much for all your inspiration and for the chance to win one of your bow makers. It looks awesome.
Sheila
You are an inspiration to all of us! Love all your tutorials and just browsing your creations! Have fun in Akron!
Enjoy your trip. Hope all goes well for you.
craftymom205 at yahoo dot com
Good morning,
The star book is another of my favorite tutorials. My goal is to make 40 of them for people on my Christmas card list. Love your cards. They inspire me to continue to be creative. Have a blessed week.
I think my favourtie tutorial would be the three butterflies that come off the page and are framed in “partical circles”. I just made another one just this past week.
Hi,
I think my fav video is on Bow making. I like both the double bow and the single bow.
Thanks
Hi Becca – as always, it is SO HARD to choose a favorite from among all of the wonderful tutorials and Becca Bits you have shared over the years, but one of my favorites is the one where you showed how to make a round medallion, using corner punches. It wasn’t long after that one of the leading die companies starting producing medallion style dies! You are a true inspiration in so many ways, thanks for sharing, and for the chance to win one of your bow makers.
Becca, guess you’ve left for the convention. All I want to say is I miss you!
One of my other favorite tutorials of yours has to do with punch around the page. I think those are great tips …
Hope you have a safe and wonderful trip!
Hi Becca…it is so nice to hear you being so upbeat and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the show! One of my favourite, perhaps my very favourite is the birdcage pop-upcard in a box tutorial…that was really something! You are such an inspiration to us all, hence the reason we all love coming to see what you have been working on and all hope that we too will be able to produce cards like you!
LOL Eileen
So excited for u Becca have lots of fun at the craft fair and good luck w your new ventures (^.~) wink!!!
Hi Becca: It looks like I may be at the convention on Saturday. I have never been to one so I am excited to see first hand all the good stuff there. I enjoy looking at all the creative things on your website.
I loved your Christmas Tree Box Tutorial. I thought that was so creative!
Hey Becca! Another day, another chance for me to win your Peg Bow Maker :) I am so glad you are allowing us to comment each day – I want that PBM! So another of my favorite tutorials of yours is your Ribbon Organization – LOVE this idea! I have recently organized all my rolls of ribbon in a drawer just like this but have run out of room so now I am going to do what you do so that I can have as much ribbon is a drawer as you do! I too am addicted to ribbon :) Have a lovely time in Ohio and a safe trip!
Love all your tutorials, but those on different uses for the punches have been wonderful. The bow tutorial has helped me so much, but now to have your bow maker would be so awesome! Thank you for your kind giving spirit to share with us.
Have fun in Akron!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Love all your tutorials!
Oh Becca! Have a great trip and stamp away!
I love all your tutorials, but the bows – ah, the bows – they’re so scrummy.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing your talent and also in offering a bow maker to one very lucky person :o)
Hugs
Anne (UK) x
Becca I really liked your twist top box… especially with the windows… awesome!
Thank you for a chance to win a bow maker! Your bows are just yummy delicious as are your colors and layers! My favorite tutorials are the ones on using the punches in different ways. You get so much more out of them! Have a wonderful and safe trip!
I really love your bow tying tutorials and now you have come up with this new tool. I still like to hand tie my ribbons now that I have watched your videos. Thank you so much
Hi Becca!
Enjoy your trip to Akron, Ohio! While you’re at the show, I’ll be at Lorain County Community College for a charity weekend crop to support Women’s Link – a wonderful program that supports the women of Lorain County, Ohio.
My favorite tutorial is bow making since I’m quite bow-challenged. I have a dear friend who is always there to make those special Christmas bows or tie the tiny bows on my cards.
Have a safe trip and enjoy your weekend in Akron!
Becca,
One of my favourite tutorials you did is the honeycomb ornament. It is so impressive and looks very difficult to make. You share many great ideas with us. Thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful mini vacation at the convention.
i love the tute on the pleated background. i hope you had a great trip and are resting to share new ideas with us.
Becca,
I love your blog!! I have now subscribed to your feed blitz! My favorite tutorial is Flower of the Loom!! All your tutorials are wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Toni
I love how detailed and coordinated your cards are. Such talent! Your bow tying tutorials are something I’ve enjoyed.
Hmmm., reading through some of the comments it reminded me of tutorials of yours that I had forgotten and at least one I swear I’d never seen! Can’t imagine how THAT happened. So now I’m off to refresh my memory. Still can’t imagine topping the bows, I now get compliments on my bows. I tell ’em go check out Becca’s APG and you can have gorgeous bows too! Oh yes, and get one of her Peg Bow makers!!
R/
Ofcause I also just absolutely love all your amazing bow tutorials, and I have been using them a lot. You make the most awesome tuts here so easy to follow always. I love them hun.
Your Mothers day card is simply incredible. The layers and colors are so feminine. Exquisite.:)
Yesterday you give us another beautiful card.
The tutorial that I prefer all those with punch. It show so many possibility.
Merci
Francine
Thanks for the kind and generous give-away and the chance to win.
I truly like all the videos of yours that I have watched!
Enjoy Akron!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win
Morning Becca… Here we are at Thursday, April 26 .. I’m excited for the drawing tomorrow.. By the way, I LOVE the Border Filled Frame tutorial and especially that you describe how to look at your own punches using the tips you clearly provide to achieve the same results. Fab-U-lous! You are just awesome!
A good day to you Becca! After going over several days of your card creations I have to say they all have such a quality about them and their own style that is very lovely. I guess I would say today that one of my favorite tutorials is the folded square cards. I made that for my grandson, filled it with special little trinkets and he loved it. Thanks so much for the effort in making these special little lessons for us.
I’ve been out of town for over a week and have missed seeing your simply beautiful creations. Have fun at the stamp show!
Another tutorial that I love is the Becca Bit on making your beautiful pocket card. I hope you have had fun in Akron!!!
Hi Becca: I can’t pick a favorite–I love looking at your site and all your beautiful card creations inspire me!
I will be at Adventures in Stamping on Sunday! Hope to have a chance to meet you.
I really can’t pick just one of your tutorials. I especially like your flower tutorials.
I liked your Calendar Cards Tutorial. I thought it was a creative use to make pretty cards (and matcing envelopes) with calendars, especially when you are able to pick them up inexpensively (or recycle the ones you have).
Thanks again for a chance at your Peg bow maker. You make bows seem so easy! Another tutorial of yours that I really liked was the flower loom. You turn out some really pretty flowers.
Love your quick ribbon tips.You are always so helpful with giving your tips. I so appreciate them! This would be awesome to win. Hope you had a wonderful time!
I love the bows. I can make decent bows now but a bowmaker would make them perfect. I love your blog name and your beautiful cards. Blessings. V.
Saved my “favorite” favorite for last! Of course, LOVE LOVE LOVE all of your Becca Bows! There is nothing to compare, and also included are your tips on knot tying. Really appreciate the time you spend sharing with everyone, you are an amazingly gifted person. Thanks too for the chance to win one of your bow makers – that would make my day for sure!
I just recently saw your right angle punching and I have done one. Will have to refer to your tuturial from time to time. Enjoy your weekend. Dianne
I so love the Hexagon Box…. if only i had the petal envelope die from spellbinders! I”m sure i can make my own template… but a die would be so much nicer!!!
Becca, all of your tutorials are fabulous…it was really difficult to single out just a few!!! Thank you for the opportunity to win one of your fantastic bow makers!!! I’m so glad you are having success with it!
Becca,
Hope you are having a wonderful time at the convention. I love all your tutorials. You explain things so well and so calmly. I loved the crepe flower tutorial. I make a lot of different flowers and I am always interested to learn a new one. Thank you for everything you do for us. Your cards are stunning!
You have made so many wonderful tutorials Becca, and they´re always so easy to follow, that even a kid can do it, and you just create so many awesome things with your amazing ideas and talent, and always share them so generously with us here.
Have a wonderful week-end sweet friend and lots of fun and joy I hope.
I like your tutorials on Punching Frames (offsets), Scant Mats and Fudging Small Borders.
I love the way you think out of the box and show us different ways to use dies and punches. These things are so expensive that it is greeeat to be able to make much more use of them and your tutorials do that for us. Thanks for that, and thanks for the opportunity to win the bowmaker.
Hope you having a great time!
It was so great meeting you yesterday at the show!! You are such a gifted and talented lady, gracious and fun too! Know that you are an inspiration to many. thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
